PORT KLANG 02° 59' 30" N 101° 19' 40"
Today was our fourth underway covering about 40 miles from our anchorage last night near a power plant just north of Port Dickson. Tonight we are anchored across from the cruise ship terminal in the middle of a very busy industrial port.
Once again today was a motor, though yesterday we did have some nice wind on the beam and actually got to sail a bit.
Arriving here in Port Klang was thrilling as you need to dodge the shipping traffic moving around. We were fortunate and had a favorable current and at times were making 9 knots while under power. This is an anchorage we have not used before but it seems OK.
Tomorrow we exit the north channel of Port Klang and our plan is to make about 45 miles and find an anchorage spot. It's about 85 miles to Pangkor Island and an anchorage we are familiar with, that's just to far for one day. We have been told it's possible to get close to shore in a depth you are comfortable with and anchor. Tomorrow night that's our plan.

Looking forward to hearing more about your trip through the Malaca Straights. We plan on heading that way as well and shuld get there in a couple of years. WE are spending the cyclone season here in Opua, New Zealand and will return to Fiji again next year. We had toooo much fun there to not return for a second year. If you google soboscave our blog will pop up if you want to laugh at us. WE do some pretty dumb things !!! David & Suzi s/v Sidewinder
