Well, the dock lines are finally untied and we wave goodbye to Rebak. Court Jester and Dream Catcher got up early to see us off. It is a really funny feeling leaving, knowing we are probably not coming back. We are sad as Rebak has been been Seadrive's home on and off for nearly 18 months. We have an uneventful morning motoring (no wind - but did we really expect any?)until Mike makes_ a dive for the port engine bay. We stop the engine and find it has chewed up another belt. More dramas as the nut seems to be burred. Mike, however, with his new apprentice Tabitha manage to get the water pump off and re-grease it, put on new belt and we are off again. Even with only one engine with the current with us we still managed to do 5 knots. It is hot and humid out here and we have less than an hour to our anchorage tonight...an island just north of Penang. We believe there is good swimming. Can't wait.
