Ep9. I found a little Paradise.
As I attempt to get into sailing and after a close call at Port Dickson in Malaysia I decide to look for a Sailboat at Marina Island at Pangkor, and just by accident, I found something else.
A little paradise. Somewhere I’d love to come back to once I have a yacht and can begin my sailing dream.
Yep, it was pretty disappointing at the time. So I thought I’d cheer myself up and have a look around Malaysia.
Towering above the skyline, I saw this place, it looked straight out of a Batman film…
The marina manager from Port Dickson had told me about another marina in Pangkor in the north of Malaysia where I should look. There were a lot of abandoned boats there. So I didn’t hang around Kuala Lumpur for too long…
The one thing I noticed about Malaysia were the miles and miles of Palm Plantations.
Marina island at Pangkor was an interesting place.
It’s way cheaper to haul out here and labour is cheap too, but the heat for this Melbourne boy was almost unbearable.There’s a sailing Youtube channel couple doing a refit of an Amel Super Maramu 54 in this yard, and they have two young babies… massive respect to them for getting it done, I’m not sure I would have been able to stand it.
I got an apartment overlooking the marina and got out and had a good look around.
I spoke to the marina office, but none of the yachts there were what I was looking for.
But later that afternoon a taxi driver told me I should catch the ferry over to Pangkor Island for a look around… and boy was I glad I did.
I only went there for the day… but I think I’ll be back, …Hopefully when I’m sailing through.
Once I had as good look around I was off back to KL to catch my flight to Thailand, where lovely Georgia was holidaying and waiting for a travel buddy…
