Our friends Georg and Manuela from the German boat "Sternchen" at Pangkor. They are now in Europe for a few months. We first met them in Darwin and they were very helpful to us at Kupang in Indonesia lending us a generator to get our batteries charged.

Loading barges offshore Port Klang- the main port for Malaysia and the new bridge linking Pulau Penang with the mainland - 9 kms long and built by the Chinese. Maybe there's a lesson there for Auckland. It's already half owned by the Chinese anyway!!! 

The Malaysian coast - a Malaysian fishing trawler we came close a few times!! Port Dixon Marina - the first marina after Johor and our friends Peter and Toni from "Tigger" at Lumut (Pangkor).

Some scenes since we arrived back in Malaysia earlier this year. The old girls boarding school up in the Cameron Highlands until the Japanese arrived in 1942. It is now a boutique hotel. And a maritime village on the island of Pangkor Malaysia about halfway up to Langkawi

Whangarei Heads Northland NZ from where we left NZ (via Opua) back in 2011 and Jim's brother Alec in Auckland early 2014

Carter James Lanaway and Granny Jean and Mum Tracie

Jim's Auckland grandchildren. The Christchurch contingent - Lucia and Elsie - are already on here.

Hamish and his new ute. We stayed with Hamish and Sara in Whangarei for lengthy periods off and on. Many thanks H & S
