Jeff's Log ~ Friday, March 28, 2008

Another glorious morning in Langkawi! It is nice and cool with light breeze and sunshine. Yesterday, we all went and rode the cable car to the top of the mountain. The scenery was breath taking, and from the top, we could easily see about a hundred islands. Every thing seems to be priced very low here, and ringets go pretty far.

We rented a car for 80 ringets for the day and drove around the island. We went to the yacht club by car and stayed anchored in a much prettier area. There was no paperwork for the car. They did not even know my name. I just gave her money, and she gave me the key. It was about 22 dollars US. The car was a year or two old Peugot 4door that was pretty peppy. Funny to drive on the right side and shift left handed.

We took four big bags of laundry in, and stocked the boat with a couple of cases of rum and vodka, as well as beer and soft drinks, as it is all inexpensive here. A quart of Bacardi rum is only 10USD. Mark and I installed the new LED running lights up front and pulled new wire for them. They look much sleeker than the old clunky ones that I could not keep working. Today I have to finish tying and securing the wires in the anchor locker, and another project will be completed.
