Dana &
Saipol were just two of the extremely friendly staff members from the
Puteri Harbour Marina in Malaysia where we'd left "Windy Spirit" for over 7 months while we'd travelled back to Australia & then throughout Malaysia & Thailand. These guys always had smiles upon their faces & just couldn't do enough for us. If ever we had any problems, it was just a matter of asking these guys who could put us in contact with anyone that was required. It's always hard being in another country, especially with the
language barrier, but Dana &
Saipol made everything so much easier for us with contact details of motor mechanics, electricians, etc. You name it & they could source it!!! Thanks again for all your help & advice during our lengthy stay at
Puteri Harbour.
Arab, was another one of the staff at
Puteri Harbour who just couldn't do enough for us during our stay. He actually looked after "Windy Spirit" while we were back in Australia for over 3 months & did such a great job that we decided to give him our aluminium tender that we'd replaced whilst in Malaysia. We learnt during our times together that Arab loved
karaoke & was quite an entertainer once he had a microphone in his hands!!! We'll never forget that great smile Arab!!!
Our time at
Puteri Harbour Marina will always hold fond memories for both Rees & I as we'd spent a lot of time there, getting to know the staff & having some great times with them, both socially & work related.
Puteri Harbour Marina, in our minds, is one of the best marinas that we've ever stayed at & wish that the marinas in Australia could compare. We love the country of Malaysia & the people so hope to return one of these days to catch up once again with all of our new found friends.
The gardens & surrounding areas at the marina were just beautiful so it was no wonder that it was such a popular spot for locals, especially on the week-ends where we would often see brides doing their photos shoots & families out enjoying the layed back atmosphere that marinas usually present. Everyone from the gardeners, to the cleaners, restaurant staff, security staff & marina staff, took pride in Puteri Harbour & so they should as it is one of the more beautiful places in Johor Bahru.
