Malaysia: The next leg of the Nauplios journey..
Our latest adventure takes us to the vibrant shores of Malaysia, a country divided by the South China Sea, offering endless possibilities for discovery. Join us as Nauplios navigates new waters and uncovers the unique charm of this incredible destination. Get ready for sailing, fun, and beer!
Navigating the M25 of the sea
Entering Malaysia via Johor Bahru threw us straight into the heart of the action: the Singapore Straits. One of the busiest shipping lanes in the world, it felt like the nautical equivalent of the M25. My husband slipped effortlessly into pilot mode, glued to the radio and steering us through the chaos like it was nothing.
Me? I decided my skills were completely redundant and went below deck to make fishcakes. Honestly, who else can claim they’ve been cooking fishcakes while dodging 50-knot cargo vessels? I did pop on deck once or twice, but the sheer size of those ships barreling past had me sprinting straight back to the galley.
Smooth sailing to a warm welcome
After the Singapore Straits crossing, checking into Malaysia at Puteri Harbour was a breeze—a few forms, a couple of signatures, andNauplios was in.
Bow pointing north, our adventure began: hidden coves, sun-drenched beaches, local flavours, and plenty of beers. Malaysia had welcomed us, and Nauplios on Tour was officially underway.
Beyond the straits: Singapore & new beginnings
Our journey has already led to memorable moments, including a fantastic trip to Singapore to meet George and explore its amazing historic streets – a city or a country, it's a debate for another time!
This is just the beginning; we're still here, eager to delve deeper into Malaysia's wonders. If you're inspired by Nauplios on Tour, our top advice is simple: just go! Experience the beauty and adventure for yourself.
