When can we go sailing? (Preparing to leave) - Ep 204

We're preparing to leave the marina after 5 months of staring at the walls. But when can we go sailing?

The Malaysian RMCO (recovery movement control order) is still in place, but the rules are slowly relaxing and one of them means we're allowed to go out to anchor. There are a few jobs to finish and a bit of fun to be had before it is time to go…

03:55 Cleaning deck and stainless
04:51 Water in petrol of outboard motor
05:56 Taking a break to a nearby island...by dinghy
13:32 Checking out...easier than it sounds
17:42 Puding Calapa (fresh coconut pudding)
23:49 Millie - leaving without her for the first time
24:22 How to handle prop walk

We can't leave the state, but that's OK, there's lots to see along the coast. Now, back to those jobs…
Peace, fair winds!
