Rebak Marina, Langkawi, Malaysia

We are tied up to the dock at Rebak Marina on the western side of Langkawi after spending the night at a delightful anchorage at one of the southern islands. The sail up to Langkawi was a little slow initially as we had to wait until 1100H for the tide to flood enough to get out of Straits Quay Marina. We had winds on the nose and a foul current initially and we barely made 5 knots until the tide changed and the wind shifted to the southwest as it always seems to do in the afternoon. After that we motor sailed at 8.5 kts to get to Teluk Chawi by sunset where we anchored for the night.
We had a brisk Northwesterly breeze this morning and made it to Rebak under sail in rapid time. I met with Noel who will under take Callisto's bottom paint and some other stuff that needs doing and the haul-out is scheduled for tomorrow at 1000H.
John and Cheryl from Sea Mist are here and we will see them tonight after a gap of many months for drinkies.
