Langkawi to Ko Lipe

Thursday December 23, 7.30am I hauled the anchor and departed the Telaga frog pond. Not much wind. The wind soon increased 10 to 12 knots from the south east once out of the shadow of the Langkawi hills. The destination was Ko Lipe, Thailand around 20 miles. Shortly after leaving Langkawi I changed the time back one hour to +7 hours GMT/UTC. The asymmetrical spinnaker was hoisted, Jimmy Buffet lamented on the stereo – it was so good to be sailing again.
