Lumut, Malaysia

Lumut, Malaysia
This was the first "official" stop in our rally. The marina is built on a man made island between the mainland at Lumut and Pangkor Island and is not complete at this time. There is no electricity, water, nor cleats to tie up to as yet. Once the facility is complete, they will be able to haul boats out of the water and will also have a fuel dock. The whole island is quite indescribable -- way "over the top". James is the manager and is one of the most helpful people we have come across. He organised fuel for us. We had a wonderful dinner last night hosted by the owner of the island -- so much food and the beer seemed to flow endlessly. The owner also brought a truck full of the local fruit in season and insisted we all take some. We are now anchored in a bay in the south of Pangkor Island.
