Sailed for one hour this morning, then put the motor back on. Tipped in 60l diesel from jerry cans, always fun in a rolly boat.

Little wind, rain has set in

No wind, rain in the morning

Light winds and still rolly.

On the way south, crossing the equator soon, but a bit rough for any ceremonies.

2 days in Sekupang then out this morning for Nongsa Pt. Another horrible bash into weather along the axis of the Singapore Strait, wish we could read the weather better.

Back at anchor, preparing to cross over to Indonesia tomorrow.

Tied up in Puteri Hbr Marina, 12 miles N up the Johore Strait, with a few other boats.

Anchored between Malaysia and Singapore after a run down from Langkawi that was straightforward except for the 6 million fishing boats and cargo ships going about their business.

Tied up in RLYC Langkawi Islands Malaysia - 1,200 miles or so from Sri Lanka and 12 days, a lot of it unpleasant.

Anchored in Maldive Islands - after long passages through Red Sea, Gulf of Aden, Gulf of Oman, Arabian Sea and now North Indian Ocean. No pirates to report on water, and lovely here in Maldives.

Tied up in Pt Ghalib marina after downwind sail from Port Suez among the shipping. Clean well run marina but not cheap - exists mainly for the diveboat/resort trade it seems. No other yahts

Motored to Suez - crushingly hot! Port Tewfiq marina rather run down - will stay a couple of days to tour then go quiet for the next few legs.

Motored to Ismaillia
