K'Gari turns two .

Last week as K'Gari sat all alone in Port Dickson , she officially turned two years old.

Some stats follow for those who are remotely interested;

Distance traveled in last 12 months, 1992 nautical miles.
Engine hours 317.2
Fuel consumed  573 litres
Which works out as 1.81 litres/ per engine hour, and 0.287lts /nautical mile. When motoring , or motoring with sunshades, sometimes also known as sails, I try to keep the average speed at 5 kts.

On board I have had, my sister Jo, nephew Chris  and Steve for run from Langkawi to Port Dickson.
Lynne from Port Dickson to Phuket, which unfortunately for Lynne, rattled up most of those engine hours.
Then Jo,Chris and Steve around Phuket and out to the Similan and Surin Islands- beautiful.
Steve for the haulout and re-antifoul in Thailand and back to Port Dickson, for which I am eternally grateful.

Far more importantly, three fish were caught, the mahi mahi with Lynne , released because I just wasn't sure. The mackerel which did for Christmas dinner and a barracuda which was released as “not required on board”.

Visited only two countries this year , Malaysia and Thailand.

One haul out :
One coat of primer, three coats of antifoul, a new set of anodes, a new set of flexible bushes for propellers ( thank you – not , to whoever filled them with grease during installation!), a new antifoul job on the saildrives – serious thank you Steve, a load of stress and we were back in the water and out of Thailand the day the visas expired!

Finally found some wind and managed to get the MPS set a few times whilst in Thailand and on the run back to Port Dickson. Even got the photo to prove it, courtesy of Ray and Shaunnaugh on Parlay.
