Kuala Lumpur’s very own China Town has everything you can wish for. For the price of a full shopping cart at Costco, you can fly here and find out for yourself! We loved the Indian restaurant, right next door to the most famous street food markets (Jalan Alor). Street art is everywhere, especially in tiny alleys. Free to tour and skillfully crafted. The second tallest building in the world is still under construction. It seems like building tall and taller is a theme here. Another day full of local color in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Remember to subscribe for fun long-form episodes of our family travels.

Before the Wind Sailing to Amsterdam. S/V Thundercat is a 1980 Catalac 9M catamaran for sale by owner located in the Netherlands. Easy to handle, stable and safe enough for families, this cruising catamaran is fantastic for coastal sailing, and its shallow draft means it can go where most sailboats cannot venture. The Catalac 9M is not only fun to sail, they are probably the safest cruising catamarans afloat. Catalacs, with over 600 boats built, have never had a catamaran capsize. Designed to sail the North Sea, Catalac catamarans feature extra thick fiberglass hulls that were built to last. With sleeping accommodation for up to 7 in four separate areas, the boat features an extraordinary amount of living space, a massive cockpit and seemingly endless storage. The galley, with 2m headroom, is well-equipped, light and airy. Twin fuel-efficient Yanmar 18hp engines make this 9m catamaran easy to manoever when docking — and with a modest 4.2m beam the boat will fit into a monohull moorage. Sails and rigging are in good shape. New antifouling in the spring of 2022. “Thundercat” is clean, well-maintained, and ready to sail. If you are looking for an exceedingly affordable catamaran with simple systems that is fun to sail, with an exceptional interior layout and a massive cockpit then look no further. https://www.catamaransite.com/catamarans-for-sale/catalac-9m-17/

🇳🇿 Here’s a little snapshot of the crazy storm we’re all in. It’s blowing 45-55kts gusting 63 and it’s forecast to blow like this for the next 5 hours 😳 🇫🇷 Voici un petit aperçu de la folle tempête dans laquelle nous sommes tous. Il souffle 45-55kts avec des rafales de 63 et il est prévu de souffler comme ça pour les 5 prochaines heures 😳

The GLY World Odyssey 500 yachts brought gifts, their own and gifts received from Byond Relief NZ & Rotary Russel island NZ in Opua to be transported to the 10 local communities visited in May 2023. In order to avoid problems, these 'small' gifts were only given after a public event was arranged with the local village leader so everything was done 'in the open' and shared fairly between the local people. To preserve their dignity, the sailors accepted the generous gifts of fresh fruits & local handicrafts given to them. A win-win situation as it should always be! Thanks also to our fund raising patrons who generously donated solar lights (seen in another video) to these communities. This 'mission' was born after the last 2 tropical cyclones and earthquake that hit Vanuatu in March 2023. Thankfully most communities are quite resilient but still need some help in the aftermath of previous cyclones where little help was received because of pandemic restrictions. Thanks to s/v Fou de Bassan for short video.
