Off to Thailand tomorrow

We have been busy again getting ready to leave for Thailand tomorrow  Callisto got splashed on Sunday without problem and everything seems to be working well. We went into Kuah on Langkawi to clear out of Malaysia and do a bit of shopping. Lots of stores for almost everything in town.
We went over to Langlawi from Rebak on the ferry and rented a car from a Mr. Dinn for $12.50. It was a bit of a spavined old beater but at least the A/C worked. Brakes were another story. No docs, no license, no insurance just hand over the money and Mr. Dinn gives you the keys until four o'clock.
We were fortunate to have been shown around by an Australian couple from the yacht Sassoon so we followed them to almost all the places we need to go.
Langkawi is duty free so alcohol is pretty cheap. $10 for a case of beer and about $15 for a litre of gin or rum. A bottle of wine was a bit more $12-$15 and up. We even found the Admiral a bottle of Pastis for 6 bucks!
Cleat out was easy and then the slog of transporting all of our stuff back on the ferry to our boat.
We had drinks with our old friends, John and Cheryl on Sea Mist yesterday. They are in the berth next to us.

We spent the day cleaning up checking the dinghy and getting ready for leaving in the morning
