Ann-Elin Synnes and Sam sail roughly 200 nautical miles from Port Klang, Kuala Lumpur, south through the Malacca Strait to Putri Harbour, Malaysia, aboard their boat Catfish, targeting Singapore as their next destination.▶ 0:17 The Malacca Strait carries record vessel traffic — over 100,000 ships in 2025, representing roughly 25% of world trade — and the crew navigates by staying inshore of the main shipping lane and tracking vessels on AIS.▶ 1:33 A piracy warning message arrives while anchoring near the strait's southern end.▶ 8:38 Progress is slow, alternating between motoring against adverse current and sailing downwind when wind and current align; a night reef is set when an unexpected squall builds near the mainland.▶ 4:16 The crew detours to Palau Kukup, an uninhabited Ramsar-protected mangrove island with 27 mangrove species, reached by dinghy at low tide past Kelong fish farms and the stilted Kukub Fishing Village.▶ 9:32 An aggressive monkey on the boardwalk trail forces a route change.▶ 12:29 Rather than sail into Singapore — marina fees are prohibitive — they leave Catfish at Putri Harbour and cross the border by bus for about $2.50.▶ 17:02 At Singapore customs, Sam's empty CO2 cylinder triggers a two-hour detention; the shop intended to refill it no longer exists.▶ 18:14 They stay two nights at a polo club, visit the Bukit Brown Chinese Cemetery (est.▶ 19:09 1922, reportedly the largest Chinese cemetery outside China), and explore Singapore by subway.▶ 22:00
