After dressing No Regrets II with every flag we own, the Jambatan Angkat drawbridge in Kuala Terengganu is opened especially for the Sail Malaysia Rally to enter the marina — a truly spectacular sight! 🚤🎉 With traffic stopped and locals lining the bridge, we felt like royalty sailing through, waving to the crowd as we passed beneath. A quick drone flight captured the amazing views of the drawbridge, marina, and city from above — what a welcome! During our stay in Terengganu, we explored Chinatown, wandered through quiet night markets, and joined the rally for a cultural tour that included: 🌀 Visiting the local markets 🎨 Watching traditional batik dyeing at the NACC Batik Pavilion 🏛️ A tour of the Kuala Terengganu Museum, complete with a welcome lunch, local dance performances, and craft demonstrations Before clearing out of Malaysia at the Sultan Mahmud International Airport, we tackled one last challenge — refuelling No Regrets II by jerry cans from the dock. Always an adventure! 😅 Another unforgettable stop on our Sail Malaysia journey — filled with culture, colour, and an incredible welcome from the people of Terengganu. ❤️⚓ Timestamps if you like to Jump Right In: 00:00 Intro 00:31 Dressing No Regrets II with every flag 01:17 Drone shots 02:53 Bridge Opening 03:57 China Town & Night Markets 06:09 Rally Tour of Terengganu 13:02 Refuelling No Regrets II 15:23 Check out of Malaysia WHO ARE WE?

We sail from Kapas Island to Redang Island, where we spend several incredible days surrounded by powdery white sand, turquoise water, and vibrant coral reefs. During our stay, we snorkel in a sandy area reserved for turtle feeding, swimming side by side with majestic sea turtles as they glide gracefully through the crystal-clear water — an unforgettable experience! 🐢💦 We also visit the Chagar Hutang Turtle Sanctuary, where we see first-hand the incredible conservation work being done to protect these endangered creatures. We’re lucky enough to witness tiny hatchlings breaking through the sand to take their first steps toward the sea, and later, a nighttime release of young turtles — truly magical moments that will stay with us forever. 🌙✨ After a few relaxing and inspiring days exploring Redang, we sail back to Kuala Terengganu, anchoring in the basin with the city and bridge beautifully lit at night, ready for the upcoming bridge opening ceremony. A heartwarming and unforgettable chapter in our Malaysian sailing adventure — filled with turtles, tropical beauty, and the joy of life on the sea aboard No Regrets II. ⚓💙 Timestamps if you like to Jump Right In: 00:00 Intro 00:35 The RIP, Leaving Port Phillip Bay WHO ARE WE?

We sail towards the small and beautiful Kapas Island, but the journey turns exciting when we hook our first sailfish along the way! 🎣 After an incredible fight, we safely released this magnificent fish back to the ocean — a truly unforgettable moment at sea. Kapas Island greets us with crystal-clear waters, colourful coral reefs, and a turtle sanctuary run by a passionate local non-profit dedicated to protecting nesting sea turtles. 🐢 While exploring the island, we stumble upon an abandoned resort slowly being reclaimed by nature, and a tug shipwreck washed up on the rocky shore — a dramatic sight and a reminder of the power of the sea. We hoped to witness a turtle laying her eggs — a once-in-a-lifetime experience — but luck wasn’t on our side this time. Despite our late-night vigil on the beach, the turtle returned to the sea before nesting. Still, it was inspiring to see Ronnie’s dedication and the sanctuary’s ongoing conservation work to protect these incredible creatures. Later that night, we join local fishermen for a fascinating look at Malaysian squid fishing, where powerful lights attract the squid before they’re caught using traditional jigs. Another serene and meaningful stop on our journey through Malaysia’s east coast islands — full of adventure, wildlife, and unforgettable moments. 🌴⚓ Timestamps if you like to Jump Right In: 00:00 Intro 00:35 The RIP, Leaving Port Phillip Bay WHO ARE WE?

We leave Puteri Harbour and make our way back through the busy Singapore Strait, dodging countless cargo ships and fast ferries along the way. After a long day navigating one of the world’s busiest waterways, we drop anchor at Jason’s Bay—where things take an unexpected turn. A floating island drifts straight toward the anchored boats, and in true No Regrets II fashion, Chris and Marty decide to “claim” it as their own new territory! Armed with Pina Coladas, they hop aboard and ride it triumphantly through the anchorage, laughing the whole way. 🍹🏝️ From there, we sail on to Tioman Island, clear in, and spend several days diving at some incredible sites—including three sunken sailing boats and a navy ship.

We had an incredible experience at Bohaydulang Island, Sabah, Malaysia, where eight Seawind catamarans came together during the Sail Malaysia Rally for one epic raft-up! In total, we had 3 Seawind 1370s, 4 Seawind 1260s, and 1 Seawind 1250, all lined up side by side in one of the most remote and stunning locations on the planet. With crystal-clear waters, towering islands, and great company, it was the perfect setting for an unforgettable party and celebration of the sailing lifestyle.

We continue our journey south from Penang to Pangkor, passing under not one, but two impressive bridges – including the 2nd longest in Southeast Asia! Although we knew we would fit, it still looked uncomfortably close as we sailed beneath the towering structure.

Thankfully, the ocean gave us a second chance with a beautiful Spanish mackerel, which made for an epic fresh dinner!

In this episode, we leave Phuket with zero preparation—no fuel, no food, and no anchorage stops planned. 😬 But we’re not alone. We’ve teamed up with another cruising boat and set sail together toward the remote Surin Islands, figuring things out as we go. The passage is completely unplanned, but that’s what makes it fun (and a little stressful). With each day, we improvise: finding fuel, finding food, and chasing shelter before dark. 📍 Route: Phuket → Surin Islands ⛽ Prep Level: Low to none (…oops) ⛵ Journey Style: Spontaneous, collaborative, rewarding 👋 Cruising Together: Sailing in company makes it all easier—and better This episode captures the unfiltered reality of cruising life—sometimes you just go for it and work it all out along the way.

After leaving Port Klang, we aimed for Pangkor Island, but with the conditions against us, we had to adjust our plans. As night fell, we made a last-minute stop in the Bernam River—only to be surprised by how fast the river currents became when the tide turned. It was a tense night keeping watch over No Regrets 2 as the anchor strained against the rushing water. 🌊⚓ At first light, we resumed our sail north, weaving through busy shipping lanes, dodging thunderstorms, and pushing steadily toward Thailand. Before arriving in Phuket, we made a magical stop at Koh Haa (Five Islands), where we found crystal-clear water, colourful coral, vibrant fish life, and even a floating island to explore. 🐠🏝️ It was the perfect reward after a few challenging days at sea! 📍 Route: Port Klang → Bernam River → Koh Haa → Phuket 🌊 Challenges: Fast river currents, missed destination, storms, busy shipping lanes 🐠 Highlights: Incredible snorkeling at Koh Haa 🌴 Destination: Phuket, Thailand! ⛵ Join us aboard No Regrets 2 as the adventure continues into new waters!

After the chaos of the Singapore Strait, we set sail for Port Klang, the gateway to Kuala Lumpur—but the challenges weren’t over yet. As we made our way up the Strait of Malacca, we found ourselves dodging countless fishing nets stretched across the water, often with little to no warning. It turned into a tense and tiring passage as we weaved our way through, trying to avoid getting tangled and risking damage to our gear. ⚓🛑 Despite the obstacles, we made it safely to Port Klang, marking another major milestone on our journey north. This leg of the trip gave us a new appreciation for just how much local knowledge and vigilance matter in these busy, coastal waters. 📍 Route: Singapore 🇸🇬 → Malacca Strait → Port Klang 🇲🇾 🚤 Distance: ~200 nautical miles 🌊 Challenges: Fishing nets, high traffic, narrow passes ⛵ Come along as No Regrets 2 sails deeper into Southeast Asia! 👍 Like, comment, and subscribe to keep sailing with us!

We’re Chris and Jo, an ordinary Aussie couple living an extraordinary dream aboard our Seawind 1370, No Regrets 2. After taking delivery in Pattaya, Thailand, we began our exploration of Southeast Asia, continuing a journey that started years ago. Our adventure began back in 2019 aboard our first catamaran, a Seawind 1260. We sailed down the east coast of Australia, then onward to New Caledonia. In 2020, we pushed further north, and by 2021 and 2022, we had circumnavigated Australia, uncovering remote and breathtaking places like the Kimberley. Before all this, we owned fishing and water-skiing boats, but it was crewing in South Australia that truly sparked our passion for sailing—and led us to make the leap into full-time life at sea. We were once inspired by sailing YouTube channels just like this one. Now, it’s our turn to share our story and hopefully inspire you to chase your own dreams and explore this beautiful world. 🌏 Subscribe to follow our journey and be part of the adventure! #seawind1370 #seawindcats #sailing #sailingboat #sailingyacht #yacht #yachting #yachtinglifestyle #cruisinglife #boatlaunch
