Malaysia, November 2010, Langkawi.

To get to Kuah, we stopped overnight at Pulau Paya. There are moorings you can pickup but we had a strong SW swell so we anchored at the NE point of the Island. They have now a coral farm. It was too late to go to have a visit to the farm.

Next day and 16 miles later we were in the Bay of Kuah and dropped 40 m of chain in 5 m of water because the holding is very poor and it’s a saying: “don’t become the eagle’s eggs.

Some boats ended there in strong SW gales.

With the dingy to can make landfall the ferry terminal that never operates. Bobo’s Café has been taken over by locals and doesn’t serve any alcohol.

A new complex close to the ferry terminal is now open, but there are not many shops open yet.

The night market is still at the same place. In town nothing has moved much.

From Kuah we moved to Telaga and anchored behind the little islands at the entrance of the marina.

It was nice to come across old friends, Geronimo, SacréG2, and Proteus.


Together with Pompon and Isabelle from Seakedelic, we visited the Island.

We went to Batik Art Village of ATMA ALAM. A small workshop show’s you what the Batik Art consist of but you are not allowed to take pictures.


Of course you are invited to look thru the place where every thing is for sell.

As next, we visited Taman Agro Technologi Stesen Mardi Langkawi, the place grows fruit.
On a little shuttle, the guide brings us thru the plantation. It was not the best time of the year to enjoy all the variety of fruits, but still we could taste some of them.

After that we stopped at the Komplex craft Langkawi.

The place is big and this time I didn’t hesitate to picture Batik Art, it’s beautiful.

There was also a glassblower shop.

Just before living Malaysia we wanted to take the cable car. But it was closed because of mechanical problems.
