Sailboat heeling hard under storm clouds in Malacca Strait

O que este vídeo aborda

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
