We will see Langkawi again, in just a few weeks! We
need a visa to travel the west coast of Sumatra, Indonesia, and the most
convenient place for us to get our visas is Penang, Malaysia. So we will sail
to Langkawi, Malaysia and then decide how to get to Penang, with our options
being sailing, flying, or taking a ferry.

Our ham radio is now working as it should. Our voice
communications are being heard “loud and clear”, we are receiving well, and our
on-boat email system (Winlink) is working like a charm. Thank you to Phuket
Marine Electronic Centre for the professional assistance, and to Rolf of SY
Ketoro for the recommendation.
