A lazy, easy day today . Left Malake island at 9.30 am and with a wind aft of the beam of up to 27 knots and with minimal sail up ambled along admiring the fairly dry scenery on the nearby shore to port while keeping a close eye on the reefs both to starboard and port. While we glided downwind we felt sorry for the three other boats we passed going in the opposite direction, all labouring to windward under noisy engine power only. In fact it seems many cruisers seem to motor more than sail !
We sailed past Vatia Wharf and dropped anchor under sail in 10 metres in the lee of the nearby land at 2.30pm
Incidently the Mahi mahi for dinner last night was delicious . It must be one of the best fish to eat. Snapper is not even close !
