Sailing North up the Malacca Strait Dodging Lightening Storms & Contemplating it's Rich History
Episode 446 : From the History of the Spice Trade to this little Yacht making her way up
Hello Friends,
On this episode I depart Singapore and head over to Puteri harbor, Malaysia to get cleared into the country, I then start my 400NM trek up the Malacca Strait. While passing the ancient port town of Malacca I recall the rich history of the region and its importance to maritime trade over the years.
This episode takes us as far north as the island of Pangkor.

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.
