E207 – Royal Treatment at the Drawbridge | Kuala Terengganu, Malaysia 🇲🇾

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? Hey there! We’re Chris and Jo, an ordinary Aussie couple living our extraordinary dream aboard our Seawind 1260 since January 2019 and now we continue from 2024 aboard our new 1370! Our adventure began with an unforgettable journey down the east coast of Australia, followed by a sail to the stunning New Caledonia. In 2020, we continued our exploration further north, and by 2021 and 2022, we circumnavigated Australia, discovering breathtaking locations along the way. Having previously owned fishing and water-skiing boats, our passion for sailing deepened after crewing in South Australia, leading us to make the leap into full-time living at sea. We hope to inspire you, just as we were inspired by other YouTube channels, to chase your dreams and explore the wonders of this beautiful world.
