Family Sailing Through the Singapore & Malacca Straits | S3 Ep 12

In this episode, our family sails north from Singapore through the Singapore Strait and into the Malacca Strait, one of the busiest shipping routes in the world. With over 100,000 ships passing through these waters every year, we spend our days navigating busy shipping lanes, dodging thunderstorms, riding favourable currents and finding safe places to anchor each night. The trip begins with an unexpected visit from the Singapore police before we settle into life underway. While Timo keeps watch through the night, the kids and I take over during the day as we continue our journey north through Malaysia. Along the way we deal with confusing traffic schemes, muddy water that sends our depth sounder into chaos, curious fishing boats, heavy commercial traffic and tropical squalls. After several days at sea, we arrive in Port Dickson to stock up on fuel and provisions, complete immigration and port formalities, and welcome a new crew member aboard before continuing north with the current. Join us aboard our ex-Vendée Globe ocean racer as we slowly transform it into a family cruising home and sail around the world with our two young boys and our dog. ⛵ Subscribe to follow our family's sailing adventure. ❤️ Support Our Journey If you'd like to help us keep sailing + filming, you can support us here: Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/SailingNV Ko-fi: https://ko-fi.com/sailingnv Paypal: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/sailingnv or if you'd like to help us buy something we need, you can check out our amazon wish list https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1G2NJ0EGJLKR0?ref_=wl_share Thank you so much #familysailing #malaccastrait #SailingNV
