Puteri Harbour Marina, Johor Bahru, Malaysia

View Langkawi to Puteri in a larger map This interactive google map shows our track over the past 2 weeks on the trip down from Langkawi to Puteri.  The blue marks are anchorages or marinas where we stopped. The detail is amazing.
I'll do the whole season including Thailand over the next week. It's quite labour intensive.



 We arrived at Puteri Harbor Marina last Monday after a long days motoring from Pulau Pisang up the Johor Straits. We had a thunder storm that night which was exciting but fortunately lasted only for about an hour. The weather continues to be very hot and humid and it is difficult to get any work done outside. We are busy making Callisto ready for an inactive 3 months while we go back to California on Thursday. The boat is washed and the stainless steel polished and the sunbrella canopy is now in place. Putting it up is a major chore but worth it as it keeps the sun and rain off the boat. We went shopping to the local mall yesterday and we now have all the dry goods for the cruise to South Africa on board. We continue cleaning both inside and out. The Kilkea's leave tomorrow for Canada and the Tahina's are off to South Africa on Thursday.

Approaching the bridge over the Johor Straits. Even though it's height is 25 metres and our mast is 22 metres with 1 metre antennas on top it always looks like we will hit the bridge.

The busy port of Singapore. Ships everywhere.
