Malaysia, November 2010, Pulau Pangkor

We left Admiral Marina November 2, and made an overnight sail to drop the anchor at Pasir Bogak at the SW corner of Pulau Pangkor. Seakedelic joined us, and together we went for an Island tour.
We first walked from Pasir Bogak to Teluk Nipah. On the way we pictured monkeys, a dragon and an empty marina falling apart. We also pictured a wonderful beach. We had a lunch at Nipah, and then we hired a taxi that drove us around the Island.

We stopped at the Foo Lin Kong temple. There is a mini version from the famous Great Wall of China to see, and many other stoning things.

Next stop was Teluk Gredong at the Dutch Fort. It was built in 1670. Despite frequent visits, the Dutch were kept away by hostile locals and were unable to maintain the site and rebuilt it until 1743. Only 5 years later they abandoned it for good after local warrior chiefs repeatedly attacked them.

As the day was going on it was time to get back to the yachts. Some wind built up during the day and it was quite a challenge to row back. I first brought Pui back to Salulami and then went back to help Pompom Isabelle and Amandine to get back to Seakedelic.
