Singapoh!


Holy moly guys! Since you're reading this we must have made it to Singapore! At the moment we're anchored some thirty miles outside now and plan to do the last leg tomorrow morning in daylight. We've had fairly good wind going here, mostly from behind, yet a little too little for speeding. ...apart from the two small storms we had, but they were brief, a couple of hours and they were over. We've anchored three places along the way, but didn't land anywere due to various reasons. Apart from that we've crossed equator, come unbelievably close to ramming a local fishing boat and harpooned a fish that were swimming under our boat when we were becalmed. It refused to take our bait, so we had to jump in and spear it, anyway it made it to the pot.
We're hoping to stay in Singapore jut a few days before heading off to Thailand by means of the Malacca strait and Malaysia. See the sights, see if we can find some parts for the boat and then head off. Sweet as!
