E189 Singapore to Port Klang – Navigating the Malacca Strait to Kuala Lumpur
After the chaos of the Singapore Strait, we set sail for Port Klang, the gateway to Kuala Lumpur—but the challenges weren’t over yet.
As we made our way up the Strait of Malacca, we found ourselves dodging countless fishing nets stretched across the water, often with little to no warning. It turned into a tense and tiring passage as we weaved our way through, trying to avoid getting tangled and risking damage to our gear. ⚓🛑
Despite the obstacles, we made it safely to Port Klang, marking another major milestone on our journey north. This leg of the trip gave us a new appreciation for just how much local knowledge and vigilance matter in these busy, coastal waters.
📍 Route: Singapore 🇸🇬 → Malacca Strait → Port Klang 🇲🇾
🚤 Distance: ~200 nautical miles

Hi! We’re Chris and Jo, an ordinary Aussie couple living an extraordinary dream aboard our Seawind 1370, No Regrets 2. After taking delivery in Pattaya, Thailand, we began our exploration of Southeast Asia, continuing a journey that started years ago.
Our adventure began back in 2019 aboard our first catamaran, a Seawind 1260. We sailed down the east coast of Australia, then onward to New Caledonia. In 2020, we pushed further north, and by 2021 and 2022, we had circumnavigated Australia, uncovering remote and breathtaking places like the Kimberley.
Before all this, we owned fishing and water-skiing boats, but it was crewing in South Australia that truly sparked our passion for sailing—and led us to make the leap into full-time life at sea.
We were once inspired by sailing YouTube channels just like this one. Now, it’s our turn to share our story and hopefully inspire you to chase your own dreams and explore this beautiful world.
