Panang, Malaysia



We took of early for Panang island and found some of the fishing boats we had encountered the previous night. This time we could see their lines and weave between them.
Penang is huge, 20km in length with an impressive skyline. At the southern approach they are building a long bridge from the main land. Amazing to see the workings, must be a huge contract. This will be the second bridge as there is a suspension bridge already.
We went into the Tanjong City Marina which is in the old part of town. Had a local diner for R120.00 for the 5 of us. Diesel here is R4,50 per L!
We wondered around the street stalls and took in the wonderful spice aromas.
While leaving the boat we were approached by a photographer who wanted to take photos of a bridal couple on our boat. We agreed and they were so happy, interesting the photos were done before the wedding ceremony.
We were amazed to see PAC Deneb loading in the port, this was the boat that took Sea Wolff across from USA to Singapore.
