A 2 week trip will be made from Lumut to Panang and Langkawi (Malaysia) then the islands of southern Thailand (Tarutao, Rok Nok, Phi Phi); and Phuket in Thailand, to complete any maintenance and get provisions for the voyage to Europe.

In the first week of January I aim to sail from Phuket across the Andaman Sea to Galle in Sri Lanka, and catch a train to Columbo and the the tea plantations and villages around Kandi.

Galle will be departed early February, with a few days stopover in the Maldives

I aim to arrive in Aden (Yemen) by the end of February, to replenish food supplies and fuel, and possibly look around this historic city.
