Last night in Penang (at least for a few weeks)

We put the mainsail up today, I wanted to check it was ok, water seems to collect in it, in the bag, but it was all ok.

We also lost the ugly tarp and put a sun bleached, weakened canopy up, looks better but may shred in the first gust.
Next we headed off into town for a lovely Indian lunch and a walk around some sights.

We had a look at the jetties, trying to spot the fuel barge and a spot to anchor tomorrow night.

Taxi back to the boat, and a shower on the pontoon, we have water restored to the marina now, then off to supertanker for some lovely Chinese food.

In the morning we will check the tides, if I have things right, I think we can leave soon after low water and either anchor off georgetown, in the Junk anchorage, or motor direct to some islands a few hours further on. We will then anchor overnight and on Sunday push onto Langkawi

    1. Yes, it’s only pretend AIS, that is it updates my position via the internet, and it only works when I’m in internet range. Will have a proper AIS Transponder soon I hope.
      Re the Prop, I’m not worried, just wondering if the settings are right, as the pitch is setup on the prop manually and may not be optimum, but seems to work well.
