Tanjong City Marina - now all gone!

The Tanjung City Marina in Penang having finally succumbed to silting and the depredations of swell and wash we spent a few days in Straits Quay Marina, which has opened since our last visit to the island.

We had successful shopping experiences at Sam's Batik House. Less successful was Richard's search for 10 mm penny washers, conducted in pouring rain after he had decided that the rain had finished for the day and left the umbrellas on the boat!

A bonus was that Shadow Trader came in to the marina while we were there so we were able to spend more time with Elspeth and St John.
