Port Dickson, Malaysia

We departed Kuala Belait, Brunei on 18th February 2013 after servicing our engine and installing a new fibreglass leg for our sail drive. We had fabricated 2 new ones (a fibreglass and an aluminium) in Melbourne. 

Our 792 nautical mile passage from Brunei to Port Dickson was generally peaceful except for one rough night when we passed Singapore where we had winds gusting up to 28 kts. 

Singapore up ahead
My second home - Singapore!
We were happy that our new fibreglass leg held well.
  
We tied up at berth no. C31 (N 02.28.654 E 101.50.559at Admiral Marina, Port Dickson on 25th February and left Raptor here with our crew for several days while we went back to Kuala Lumpur and Singapore to see our family & friends as well as to run some errands.  

My mum very kindly drove us back to Port Dickson from Kuala Lumpur. She also drove all of us (crew included) back and forth twice to the Immigration Office in order for us to clear out. Thanks Mum!
