Saturday 10th September 2016    Position 002:28.01N 101:50.60E Admirals Marina, Port Dickson

An interesting night’s sailing! Unbelievably heavy traffic in Malacca Straights – initially fishing boats everywhere, literally hundreds, with the added complication of nets strung between lit buoys – a nightmare!

As approached Port Klang the fishing boats thinned out to be replaced by dozens of huge ships waiting to enter Klang. Motor-sailed the whole way.

Arrived Port Dickson Admirals Marina at 1120 – exactly 24 hours after departure.

Superb facilities – pool, hotel, bar etc.

Spent several hours doing more boat maintenance and reassembly, then went for a much appreciated swim and shower.
