Our first stop (being towed) was in Puteri Harbour Marina, Nusajaya. Our engine (Danny the Dirt Detroit Diesel) was taken out, repaired and returned in a week. Unfortunately, something was amiss went we left Puteri, the oil pressure was a lot lower than we had before, so we turned around. Danny was taken out again and sent off to Kualah Lumpur (KL) for another repair. After these were done we went up to KL to see how he was. All seemed OK, although the oil pressure was still less than we would have expected.
After 7 weeks in Puteri Harbour and finally getting the engine installed again (although not yet trouble-free) we left for the Admiral Marina and Leisure Club, Port Dickson. This took 3 days with overnight anchorages. We came to spend Christmas and New Year with our friends David, Juliet and Sarah on "Reflections". They also had engine problems and were waiting for a new Yanmar. While waiting, David decided to have an Archilles tendon fixed, so he was in plaster.
We certainly enjoyed Christmas and New Year with them in the Marina resort hotel. During the interval, we went off to Melaka (Malacca) for some historic sightseeing. Highlights included Jonker St in China Town, the Stadhuys and other museums, flower-bedecked bicycle rickshaws, a ride in the Eye on Malaysia and on the Melaka River.
