Malaika: 19 November 2009
http://malaikacrew.blogspot.com/2009/11/19-november-2009.html
A journal of the travels of S Y Malaika and her crew. Thursday, November 19, 2009. I finally managed to take a photo of the whole length of Tramontana. It's hard to fit her in the frame. I had to wait until the pen beside us was empty so that I could get far enough away to take this shot. She has very clean lines, and it's much easier to walk around on deck than on Malaika. A view of Tramontana. As easy as it sounds! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Means ‘Angel’ in Swahili, and we discove...Lex Silve...

Malaika: 31 January 2009
http://malaikacrew.blogspot.com/2009/01/31-january-2009.html
A journal of the travels of S Y Malaika and her crew. Saturday, January 31, 2009. Now for something completely different - a film review! We watched 'Australia' about three weeks ago. Even with Thai sub-titles. They didn't bloody STAMPEDE! As a piece of tourism propaganda, it was so good I was thinking, What the heck am I doing in Thailand? However the CGI in-fills were a bit amateurish for 2008, especially the Darwin port scenes that looked like Baz had just photocopied that painting about the Bombing o...

Malaika: 21 March 2009
http://malaikacrew.blogspot.com/2009/03/21-march-2009.html
A journal of the travels of S Y Malaika and her crew. Saturday, March 21, 2009. Most people who follow this blog will already know that we lost our beloved daughter Ali in Phuket last month. She was watching a superyacht berth at Yacht Haven marina, where we were visiting a friend on his yacht. It’s too hard to write about this so please check Neil and Ley Langford’s web site www.svcrystalblues.blogspot.com. And Lisa Sampson ( Claire de Lune. There was a memorial gathering in the Darwin Supreme Court foy...

Malaika: Chiang Mai sojourn, 1st to 6th October 2009
http://malaikacrew.blogspot.com/2009/12/chiang-mai-sojourn-1st-to-6th-october.html
A journal of the travels of S Y Malaika and her crew. Sunday, November 1, 2009. Chiang Mai sojourn, 1st to 6th October 2009. Monsoonal rain in Phuket meant there wasn't much work we could do on Malaika. And we were going down with cabin fever badly, so we decided to visit Chiang Mai in the north of Thailand. We'd planned to go to Angkor Wat in Cambodia, but the terrible cyclones devastating the Philippines were dumping a lot of rain to the west so we decided to leave the temples for a drier time. The ele...

Malaika: Rebak Marina, Langkawi
http://malaikacrew.blogspot.com/2009/11/rebak-marina-langkawi.html
A journal of the travels of S Y Malaika and her crew. Friday, November 13, 2009. Rebak Marina, Langkawi. Saturday 14 November 2009. After almost 9 months of wandering around in a blur, and ditching one plan after another, we have started something. On Tuesday 10th in Langkawi ,we signed a stack of papers, shook hands with Phil and Fay Atkinson, and took possession of SY Tramontana. They in turn, and in an unusual arrangement for boat sales, took possession of Malaika. With a cash adjustment from us).

Malaika: 26 January 2010
http://malaikacrew.blogspot.com/2010/01/26-january-2010.html
A journal of the travels of S Y Malaika and her crew. Tuesday, January 26, 2010. Australia Day and we have been back in Darwin now for just over a month. Looks like we'll be here for the rest of this year, while our boat remains in Thailand for the time being. Lex has gone back to Chambers to work, and I'm back at my computer getting to grips with the next book. We're also following young Jessica Watson on her solo circumnavigation in Ella's Pink Lady. What an amazing young woman she is! Communications &...

Malaika: In Darwin
http://malaikacrew.blogspot.com/2009/06/in-darwin.html
A journal of the travels of S Y Malaika and her crew. Wednesday, June 17, 2009. The hardest part of being back in Darwin, apart from being here without Ali, has been the rootlessness we're feeling. We sold our house before we left last year, so we haven't had a home to return to. We've been given one unconditionally by our dear friends Terri and Dennis Hart, in their home, but we know the fish rule about visitors (they. Both go off after three days). In late May we flew to Phuket to check on Malaika.
