Yesterday started well, we left the outside berth at the marina and motored out into the main channel between Penang and the small island of Pulua Jerajak.<\/p>\n

\"awb\"
We threw Erik’s dinghy on the foredeck, just in case!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The island is a tropical rainforest, I think it’s ancient and unspoilt, bar a small resort at the southern end.<\/p>\n

\"rainforest\"<\/p>\n

The waters here are very shallow and we had to keep a close eye on the depth sounder and the navionics chart to keep in 5 metres. At the end of the little island the water shallowed again, and we had to head out to the other side of the island then down to the centre arches of the bridge.<\/p>\n

\"bridge
\nErik was sure we would fit under the bridge, which was nice.
\nI took this little video below of the trip under the bridge.<\/p>\n
