Tiger Balm performed magnificently.  Last night, in fact the last 18 of the last 24 hours were pretty horrible.  Winds picked up on the nose and we pitched continuously until we reached the shelter of the Malaysian Peninsula.  That happened just after we crossed the main shipping lanes as we entered the SIngapore Straits.  Add to that negotiating a very, very crowded anchorage in the dark, and the usual "self preservation" in harbour areas, and it is no wonder I am taking a night off my "no drinking in November" pledge!

Tiger Balm is now going to enjoy a well deserved 3 month rest in Puteri Harbour!!!
