N2:28.6 E101:50.7

Back in Port Dickson after a pretty horrible departure from Royal Selangor Yacht Club. The Club pontoons are moored in a very strong river/tidal current which runs at considerable speed. Despite waiting to close to low water for departure we managed to get slammed back against the pontoon after we cast off. Fortunately, no damage was done to either Tiger Balm or the pontoon.....

Nice trip down to Port Dickson, albeit against the tide which made for slow motion travel - hardly ever getting above 6kts.

Back to Hong Kong for medical follow ups for a week, then heading for Puteri Harbour
