We're at Penang! Fantastic motor sail at over 6 kts most the 11 hrs today. Trolled our lure but no luck, probably because what seemed like the entire West coast fishing fleet were out trawling their nets with us today. Hope they had more success.
Small local fishing boats guided us in to this anchorage after a change in weather forecast turned 180° making our original destination untenable. Lovely and peaceful here, flat calm no lights, no traffic, ready for a good zzzzzz
