Sailboat heeling hard under storm clouds in Malacca Strait

Qué cubre este vídeo

Sailing Triteia's Alberg 30 transits north up the Malacca Strait from Singapore to Pangkor Island, covering the passage in several legs: a 34-mile first day to Banana Island, a 70-mile push to Pulau Besar, two nights at Admiral Marina near Port Dixon, a 45-nautical-mile run to Port Klang, and a final 90-nautical-mile, 20-hour motor-sail to Pangkor Island. Clearing into Malaysia at Pine Tree Marina near the Singapore border was straightforward — marina staff handled paperwork and escorted James to immigration at 4 p.m. Malaysia requires domestic clearance at each port, but anchoring at islands without a Harbormaster lets a skipper skip intermediate stops by declaring the next official port of call.5:07 Overnight lightning storms at Banana Island produced close strikes but no rain and little wind; James notes that lightning deterrent systems offer no reliable protection and that boats underway are statistically less likely to be struck than those anchored.13:43 A strong favorable current on the first day produced over four knots despite beating into a short-period swell from the north.8:35 An uncharted sand island not shown on Navionics but listed on No Foreign Land appeared near the route at night, flagged by surrounding fish traps.16:51 Anchorage selection at both Banana Island and Pulau Besar relied on No Foreign Land notes about swell exposure. Domestic clearance at Admiral Marina required a WhatsApp reservation two days in advance.21:46
