Tanjong City Marina, Penang - Posted from Rebak, Langkawi

Since our last visit in November 2008 there have been a few changes at the marina.  The finger jetties on the pontoon nearest the ferry terminal have been removed -hurrah!  There has been further siltation - see the attached low tide picture.  Sea Bunny was on one of the outermost berths, even so was on the mud at low spring tides.  Boats passing at speed, particularly the police boats, set up significant surge in the marina - many yachts take up two berths, with lines to the opposite finger to hold them off.  We broke an 18 mm nylon mooring warp early one morning and lightly touched the boat next door, another Hallberg Rassy 42! There is still a very noisy disco in the adjacent entertainment complex on Fridays and Saturdays, from 2230 to 0300 hrs.
But wait, where else in the world can you stay for a fiver and walk into a world heritage town!
