Dreaded 'Sumatrans' !

well, I shook off the anchor shackles and slipped the hook and made the jump across the Malaccan straights to Banda Aceh from Langkawi, 309 nautical miles in 2.5 days!!!
Didn't get run down or blown over, lovely crossing, mostly motor sailing, a few 25 knot Sumatrans, blinding rain, genny wraps, seas on deck.
Banda Aceh is being rebuilt very well, a good change?
Refuelled and now off down the west coast of Sumatra to the Banyak islands.
Fair winds from Keith.
