James sails Triteia, an Alberg 30, 23 nautical miles from Indonesia across the Singapore Strait to an anchorage at the entrance of Johor Strait in Malaysia.8:56 The Singapore Strait carries roughly 3,000 vessels daily and 92,000 ships annually, and James describes the AIS display as "absolute chaos" — 72 ships visible, both anchored and underway, during the crossing.3:12 With the Alberg 30 topping out near 4 knots under motor, he wing-and-wing motor-sails to squeeze out 4.7 knots and plans to shadow a slow vessel if needed; his key maneuver is timing a gap behind a large Evergreen container ship to clear oncoming traffic.6:27 After anchoring in 4 meters of mud at the North Anchorage near what appears to be a navy base, he waits two days to clear customs on Monday.9:53 The 20-mile transit up Johor Strait to Sinabung Marina brings two squalls, opposing wind, and a shallow bar that drops to 3.2 feet under the keel before rising again — navigated at 2–3 knots using Navionics.25:30 Marina manager CJ processes clearance paperwork the same afternoon.28:14 Timing a crossing around slow, large vessels provides a practical gap strategy for small, slow boats in high-density shipping lanes.
