Getting Proped by Rope in the Malacca Strait & A Dangerous Night Arrival to Langkawi
Episode 448 : The Dangers of Cruising The Malacca Strait
Hello Friends,
On this episode I push on from Pangkor to complete the 400NM journey up the Malacca Strait. I get proped by a massive rope that seizes my propeller and locks up my rudder, have to dive on the boat in a 1.5 knot current and push on to make a dangerous night arrival into a tight channel at Langkawi.

Sailing Triteia
My name is James and I have recently untied the lines for good and set off to start a slow circumnavigation of this big beautiful world. After 4+ years of refitting my 1965 Alberg 30 she is finally ready for some serious sailing. In 2021 I completed my first solo ocean crossing from Los Angeles to Hawaii traveling 2300 nm and will be heading south in the summer of 2022, bound for the South Pacific.
