SAILORS turned MOUNTAINEERS! Hiking above the Clouds... Ep 197

9/22/2020

In this episode of Sailing Nandji, after spending a week in a popular anchorage amongst yachties during lockdown, we get on the move as one week in one place is way too long! We have been limited in the amount of activities we have been able to do and we are in need of other ways to let us have fun and keep us in shape. Wet season means waterfalls and Langkawi has a couple of giant waterfalls! Langkawi also has some very high peaks that disappear into the clouds and what better way to stretch our legs than to climb to the top of the second highest peak in Langkawi!

ESCAPING HUMANS! Avoiding crowds in a Pandemic... Ep 196

In this episode of Sailing Nandji, With people on the move domestically around Malaysia and a big holiday celebration on the cards, we decide it best to do what we do best. Avoid humans! Departing our last anchorage of a hole in the wall, we squeeze Nandji through the cliffs and into the channel. We are planning to raise our Asymmetrical spinnaker Unicorn fart, but during the time of leaving the channel, a big squall had brewed and we were now about to cop some bad weather. Rather than continue into the storm and bash into the on coming weather, we make a quick decision to change our plan and hide away in what turns out to be one of the best places we have anchored in Langkawi. With so much stunning remote coast line to explore, we take Flubber on an excursion and finish with the best sunset we can remember. Sometimes plans change but if it is one thing we have learnt this year is to adapt and make the most out of any situation. As sailors, we are dependant upon the weather to travel and this means plans can change frequently. Adapting to live with this for ever changing scenario, the rewards received when accepting that things dont always go to plan are priceless. That is how we ended up here. Away from the crowds, alone and happy.

Boat Life: LET'S GET LOST!!! Ep 195

In this episode of Sailing Nandji, we head out for a sail to north coast of Langkawi to explore the intricate mangrove system that occupies majority of the coast line. With miles and miles of back waters to explore, we load up Flubber and do our best to get lost! Langkawi is only 6 degrees above the equator and is protected from the ocean swell. These two factors mean that sailing in the area is often light winds and smooth seas. It is a very relaxing and peaceful way to travel. We sail 20 nautical miles to reach this maze of creeks and anchor through a tight gap between two cliffs! What an amazing place!

Living in our TINY HOME whilst PREGNANT! Ep 194

In this episode of Sailing Nandji, its lockdown life on our tiny home in Malaysia. We have been finding ways to keep ourselves busy during lockdown and we are now expecting a new little crew member onto Nandji. Living in a small space in the tropics whilst pregnant, is not everybody's idea of a fun time. Bonita is experiencing the first trimester and it is important we take good care of her during this period to ensure a healthy baby. Her symptoms are starting to show and some days are harder than others but Bonita powers on through (whilst I smile and chuckle) and we head back to the doctor to get another ultra sound. What a noise it is to hear your babies heart beat for the first time!
