Before I go much further into our trip, I forgot to introduce you to Serenity’s new little sister. We finally bought ourselves a dinghy to use with our fancy Steelhead davit. It is not just any dinghy I might add. Since he was a littl…

Till we return, Malaysi
My first impressions of Malaysia last year when we were headed up Malacca Straights to Thailand were not heart warming. We saw mass development and the signs of economic progress, the historic towns and of course the beautiful Lankawi but the country…

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARK!
The bad weather continues to keep us in port. It’s looking like we’ll be here through Sunday or
Monday.
With all of this extra time on our hands we did put on our rain gear and walk into town to get our hair cut! Barb took the time to do laundry and I did a few projects in the engine room! Not to exciting but productive!
Barb and I have learned that the weather service does make mistakes from time to time so will be up early looking for a break in the weather and a chance to move up the coast.

A half day in the boat shed
is better than no day in the boat shed.I spent this morning sanding and prepping the fwd section for more carbon fiber. Using the peelply sure saves on sanding. It seems a bit wasteful to just peel this stuff off and toss it away though. The work it sa…
