Most of not all the Sail Malaysia Rally boats are leaving today, including old friends Maureen and Paul on Calypso. We  had a 'farewell' dinner the night before last at a local Indian restaurant which might have been a bit emotional except I pointed out that all being well I'd see them up in Lankawi in about a month, so it was adieu and not farewell. At some point we will permanently part ways when they set sail for South Africa and then it will be emotional, we've been through a lot together one way and another and Paul has been ever-ready with practical help, encouragement and a steady supply of home-brewed hooch! Speaking of which today's project, apart from blogging and writing, will be sterilize the jerry-jug I used for 'air mandi' (washing water) in Indonesia and try and replicate Paul's pineapple rocket-fuel. Looking at the black stains in the plastic I can quite understand why the Indonesians don't drink the water!
