Hello Everyone

All the photos are from Pulau Wayag in Raja Ampat. It is a spectacular place to visit with great beaches, snorkelling and lookouts. Words cannot describe this place. Our Auto Pilot is working 90 % of the time so we departed there on Monday 13/1/25 on the next leg of our journey heading to Ternate on the island of Pulau Ternate a distance of 330 nm which will take about 10 days island hopping. I am looking forward to anchoring there with an active volcano (Mount Gamalama) on the island. Cheryl's hoping there will not be an eruption during our visit although it would be a great photo.

  Hello Everyone We have had a wonderful time in Langkawi with friends and family. Rebak Island Marina is one of the best Marinas we have stayed in so far. Happy Hour is everyday from 5 to 9 plus 25% of all meals in the Restaurant because we were staying in the marina. We can see why Yachties never leave here. Where to next. Well we have left Langkawi making our way to Phuket in Thailand over the next 10 days. Its only 120 Nm with Islands to stop at on the way. The next photos are from the marina with friends and family before and during Christmas. The Christmas lunch was amazing with the highlight of having family and especially our beautiful grand daughters. The Ferry. Very Fast.

   Hello Everyone It was a hard slog heading north (450 nm) to our current anchorage at Pulau Dalang which is 8 nm from Rebak Marina in Langkawi. Strong currents with the wind on the nose the whole way. We only averaged 4 Knots for the entire passage.  We also had to dodge fishing nets on a daily basis, constantly on the lookout.  At one overnight anchorage the local fisherman managed to tangle there nets around our keel when they were pulling in there catch at 2100 hours. They tried to free it but in the end they had to cut the net to pull it off the keel. A very tense time. We will be heading to the marina tomorrow where we will be spending Christmas with family. We are also looking forward to seeing friends who are visiting from home. The next photos are from the Admiral Marina at Port Dickson. Another great spot with access to pool and restaurants. Three days after we left the marina was destroyed by a Cyclone.  The next photos are from Lumut were we took sh...
