Langkawi Adventures

Well to all you readers of my feebile attempts to organize this blog, bare with me as I continue to attempt new and easier ways to publish posts. I think that perhaps some hands on help would work wonders, are there any volunteers out there? Whatever I did this time was definitely less time consuming to get the photos loaded but you'll just have to put up with my various methods until I manage to figure things out.

As we sailed to the island of Langkawi from Penang we were busy checking out our cruising guides to find an anchorage. We knew that we would be spending several weeks in the area and did not just want to be anchored off the town of Kuah or spend our time in one of the various marinas. To us marinas mean boat projects along with an added expense. Our choice for arrival was an area refered to as the fijord for it's likeness to those in other areas of the world.

Lankawi consists of something in the number of 120 islands of various sizes and this fijord is actually a narrow passage between two of there. There were several others anchored in these protected waters. We spent our first several days here. Days were spent relaxing enjoying the chattering of the monkeys in the mornings and watching the sea eagles gliding the air waves and catching their dinner from the waters

The sceanery is spectacular. The water a warm 85', though not the type of clarity that you would want for snorkeling.

To soon it was time to move on to Kuah town to do the paperwork formalities, restock provisions and visit with an old friend whom we met in the Marshall Island and make Langkawi his home.
