The boat was still floating when I returned to Rebak. However, she clearly was not happy with having been locked up and abandoned for 10 days. The boat smelled none to good green furry stuff – mould and mildew, culture, had taken up residence. A very good test for the Oil of Clove and water treatment. I had several days at Rebak resort to enjoy the facilities and meet some of the Marina residence. The swimming pool was a welcome relief from the heat The marina did not get much breeze due to the shelter from surrounding hills and trees. There being little breeze meant there were mosquitoes – squadrons of them. I met up with Mark and Rachel from “Galyva” who live onboard their boat at Rebak Marina. Mark is a shipwright and runs his business SeaSpray Marine Services in Langkawi. Someone worth knowing if you need to get some work done on your boat in this area. 
The TackTick wind transmitter at the top of the mast was not talking to the rest of the wireless sailing instrument system. I had replaced the aged Brooks and Gatehouse Hornet sailing instruments nearly two years ago. Fortunately I found the receipt and the unit was still within warrantee - just. The Tacktick system uses wireless technology to communicate between devices, not cheap however it has been reliable. The mast head wind unit and displays are solar powered These instruments display boat speed, depth, wind speed and angle plus a vast amount of other information. The system is linked in with the Standard Horizon CP500 chartplotter using NMEA 0183.
