BEACH PARTIES & RALLY FESTIVITIES

It's always fun when there's a beach party but when a group of yachties get together, it's usually more fun than usual with getting to know one & other. This shot was taken at Desaru Beach where one of the first rally stops along the East Coast of Malaysia occurred. The anchorage was in open seas just off the beach & although it was very calm with hot & humid weather, the water wasn't enticing enough to have us swimming.

Harry, Pam, Kay, Jim, Rees & I all thoroughly enjoyed our fresh coconut juices at this luncheon that was hosted by a small village near Kota Tinggi. Thankfully with the monsoon season happening & rainfall every day, the venue was a huge shed that housed us all easily & kept us dry when the rain eventually happened.

Trying to get group photos with the whole rally contingent is nearly impossible but I think that a lot of us were present for this shot. The lunch was delicious & the villagers extremely warm & friendly, offering us all small home-made gifts before our departure.
