What this video covers
James departs Rebak Marina in Langkawi, Malaysia, on a 4.8-mile passage to an anchorage locals call "the Fjords," with crew Victoria aboard the Alberg 30 Triteia.▶ 10:05 A $90 inflatable dinghy is failing to hold air; James patches it with Sikaflex and deploys a backup tandem inflatable kayak sent by a follower.▶ 0:53 The outboard motor — new to Triteia's transom — runs reliably on departure but dies mid-passage when James forgets to open the fuel tank vent, a quick fix once identified.▶ 29:18 Wind drops in the final 1.8 miles, requiring the outboard to navigate tight channels and cliffs at the Fjords entrance.▶ 16:59 The anchorage holds in 30 feet with good scope, surrounded by eagles, kingfishers, and dusky leaf monkeys.▶ 20:14 The next morning they sail to Talonga Anchorage near Rebak Marina, anchoring in nine feet at low tide with five feet under the keel.▶ 31:42 James notes Thailand requires clearing in and out at the same port — Chalong Bay in Phuket — so cruisers cannot clear in at closer Ko Lipe.▶ 23:26 He clears out of Malaysia at Kuah, confirms Thai cash is needed for National Park anchorage fees, and plans to cruise south Thailand islands before Victoria departs January 9.▶ 35:13 Running out of fuel on the second leg reveals the top tank's range limit; a Honda long-range tank fitting is unavailable at local chandleries.▶ 32:47
