Only a few more days in Malaysia

We are in the Telaga anchorage, NW Langkawi.
Alishan is loaded up with fuel, food and fruit!
Yes we are more or less ready for The Great Cruise up North..
Thailand, here we come (again).
The last 2 weeks we filled in with reading a book or 2, going for hikes , taking (bird) pictures , socializing and getting Alishan ready. We even unloaded the "portable" aircon, so that tells you and us that we won't do any marina stuff for a few months! Poor Nori and Wakame had their last tree-climbing session at Rebak Marina only yesterday.
Tomorrow ( Tuesday dec 16) we will check out as the weather for the days after looks good. There even might be some favorable wind for sailng!
The plan so far:
Xmas and New Year in Phuket, end January we get nephew Tom on board for a few weeks and then
late February..Andaman Islands ( belong to India).
Back to Thailand, Malaysia and
middle 2009 sail towards Borneo.
Anyway, we will keep you informed while underway. ( and start working on that Q4 update).
Salute.
