Raising Anchor

We had a fair run last night: five hours or so at 7 knots with just a full main in a nice Nor' Easterly, no jib, Monitor steering. That was nice.

This morning the sea was flat, glassy, no breeze to speak of, but we can see the peaks of Langkawi coming up out of the haze and at 09:00 the wind is building a little. Maybe we can get a good sail in today too.

We sailed from Phi Phi Island, Thailand, at 17:00 on Wednesday; Boxing Day in Australia. We expect to make port in Langkawi, Malaysia on Thursday around noon. It will be a short stay in Malaysia, just a few days to see the sights, pick up some duty free, and get new visas for Thailand; then back to Phuket.

All is well on SV Wings, we'll write more later.
