January 19, 2010-Convalescent Cruise

Since Judy's back operation we have been resting up at Rebak Island Marina in Langkawi, Malaysia. We were starting to get cabin fever and decided to go out of the marina for a short cruise. We couldn't sail yet; sailing is too much for a recovering back, but we could motor around.

Friday morning we went to the veggie truck for one last of bit shopping and we were ready except...

on Friday night the resort threw a party for the cruisers: free drinks, free food, and great music; who could resist? Of course we didn't dance (in consideration for Judy's convalescing back) but we enjoyed it just the same.

Next day we left the marina on Wings looking for a quiet place to anchor and spend some time.

We found it at Ketapang Bay on one of Langkawi's western Islands.

For four days we lazed around watching trees grow.

It was great relaxation.

If you can't dance, and can't sail, there is still...cruising.
