Distance run    In 9 hrs 50 minutes 68nm over the ground, 65nm though the water

Trip total         370nm over the ground, 348nm through the water

Another strenuous day’s mainly motoring; let the photographs tell the story.

Atmospheric dawn looking east to the Malaysian mainland

We were overtaken by a number of boats in a hurry to get to the fish

And then there was a water spout - fortunately it kept its distance

And a little watch keeper who stopped by for a rest

After a busy day avoiding things we fetched up, well before dusk, to the north of Pulau Rimau in a sheltered anchorage ready for the 17nm trip up through the harbour of Penang on the morrow.  We thought that we had it to ourselves but were joined by three other boats, the last one arriving after dark.
