A catamaran departs Langkawi and works south through the Malacca Strait over seven days, stopping at a marine park island, Georgetown (Penang), an offshore anchorage near the Selangor River mouth, and finally Port Klang before motoring up the river to a marina.8:50 Conditions throughout are predominantly light — one to four knots of wind for long stretches — forcing repeated decisions between motoring, drifting, and waiting for pressure.2:41 Sam uses a screecher, spinnaker, and parasailor depending on wind angle, and runs the autopilot in steer-to-wind mode to hold sail trim through shifts without constant attention.0:38 A submerged log as wide as the boat strikes the hull near one anchorage; the boat appears undamaged.16:22 Fishing boat density forces anchoring offshore rather than drifting overnight in calm conditions.24:08 A 30-knot squall near Port Klang prompts a night sail to a more sheltered anchorage with less fetch.27:49 At the marina, Sam discovers a shredded impeller left inside one engine's cooling circuit and traces overheating to a failed heat exchanger, which costs $2,300 to replace.33:48 A missing impeller fin left in the cooling system will cause downstream damage if not retrieved.37:23
