We managed to splash on 6 May and best of all Miss Perky, our faithful Perkins engine, started right up and on engaging the transmission Miss Velvet we had both forward and reverse. We motored out of the travel lift area and into a slip. For the next several days we made ready to head over to the anchorage in Kuah Town. This would serve as a sea trial. We spent the ninth of May till the thirteenth in Kuah prepareing to get underway back down south to Danga Bay in Johor Bahru.
So finally we have an internet connection to send some photos. These come from being on the hard in Rebak Marina.

We have finally gotten underway again. Yesterday was a 68 mile motor sail from Langkawi to the anchorage
here in Penang. We rested up today with Kathy busy cooking passage food and tomorrow continue on further south. We have Pangkor as our goal but if necessary we can stop at an island 13 miles north of there. All will depend on the weather.
