January 28, 2010-Quiet Times in Langkawi

We're taking it easy in Malaysia.

Relaxing at the Four Seasons


Last week we drove our rental car out to the north shore of Langkawi Island where we stopped at the Four Seasons Hotel and had lunch by the sea. It was gorgeous; so peaceful and beautiful that we very much enjoyed the short time we had there and vowed to come back. We heard about some good anchorages that were nearby. As Judy's back heals we can begin to resume sailing. For a gentle cruise we will try to bring Wings out to these waters and see if we can find those special places.

We've also been walking around the Rebak Marina area for exercise. One day we walked to the point on the end of the island where Malaysia meets the Indian Ocean and we gazed out to blue ocean.

Ocean Blue

It called to us.

In a few weeks we will fly to the US for a visit with family and friends and we are very much looking forward to that trip (we hope to see you all then). But after that, after we return to Malaysia, we will begin to prepare and provision the boat for a sail across the Indian Ocean.

You can only resist the call of the ocean blue for so long, then you have to go.
