We love Ratatouille, but have less of an appetite for real live rats. (Continued...)

Singapore To Malaysia

Leaving busy Singapore behind us, in a matter of mere hours, we knew we had entered Malaysian waters when our cell phone buzzed welcoming us to DIGI, the Malaysian satellite provider. We motored through the night so as to get some miles behind us hugging the edge of the shipping lane on the Malacca strait which turned out to be surprisingly easy. Huge tankers and cargo ships glided by us in an orderly fashion along the designated lanes of the ocean highway;all were visible on our AIS system and not an unlit fishing boat was in sight. We arrived at Port Dickson, south of Kuala Lumpur, where check in was even more efficient than Singapore. Prices are also right. Malaysia is looking good! Kara is happy to have the 4 other kid boats, they all gather on the dock to fish where she managed to hook herself a few, the prized one being her own heel;she stumbled back to Magnum somewhat concerned, increasingly more so when Uwe emerged with the blue pliers to remove it; the same one that he uses for a real catch. Rusty legs were exercised as we took a rapid ride into town about 12km away. A new country, new scents, new money, new food, new language;but we know nothing about it. Tomorrow we're off again, northbound for Port Klang. (View Post...)
