Anchored near that awful karaoke bar between Batu Maung and George Town

Penang, Malaysia

Hi Everyone,

   We left the boat yard: yippee.  We had to say good-bye to Elizabeth, Patrick, and LBD: very sad.  DoraMac was put back into the water about 3 pm and it is much easier than coming out by a long shot.  Then we just cruised back to a spot to anchor for the night stopping a bit too close to the karaoke bar.  But it was the rain that woke us about 2 am so we had to close the boat up anyway and that muffled the much of the sound which ended at 5 am at the same time our clock alarms went off.   Today we’ll start for Langkawi our ultimate destination, Rebak Marina and anchor midway tonight.   We’ll arrive in Langkawi Sunday and move over to the marina Monday.  We’ll stay at Rebak until the end of December.  While we are there I look most forward to cleaning the boat yard grit out of Doramac who needed a good cleaning anyway. 

   I did some great touring of George Town with Elizabeth and will write that up and share the photos. Patrick and Randal gave each other moral support doing boat work, though Elizabeth did a lot of the primer painting following after Patrick’s sanding.  I was the one who was mostly spectator in the boat work department.  But it will take forever to clean inside the boat and that’s mostly my job.   I should catch things up in Rebak. 

We should be heading out about 7 am when it gets light.
