Private Tropical Island haul out | Sailing Malaysia

[@TheCruisingKiwis]

Thank you for supporting our channel. Does anyone have tales of boat yards that compare to this one? We'd love to hear from you. And FWIW here is the boys channel youtube.com/@kiwiboys

[@agip1787]

There is another boat yard in Lumut, Perak....Pangkor yacht club and Perak Yacth club kampong lalang Lumut....its less price then langkawi and near a naval base ....you can google too ...

[@TheCruisingKiwis]

@@agip1787 yeah it's good. We left Javelot there when we travelled to Cambodia pre Christmas.

[@billhanna8838]

@@agip1787 Spent tome in a little marina up in Lumut some 20 years ago , Nice friendly place , No boat yard then .

[@morphed9477]

IDK, you might like Kemah Texas Marina, lol The boys would probably like the boardwalk. And you guys would love the restaurants

[@allisonhamilton1222]

Malaysia suits you all. Wish I was there with you. Love watching your videos. Ivan is doing a fantastic job on the boat. ❤️💕❤️💕

[@TheCruisingKiwis]

Thanks Allison he and Ollie did do great work.

[@EltoV]

Another great episode Kiwi family! A great marina/boatyard and absolutely beautiful resort but watch out for those monkeys. You definitely don't want to end up like Riley from SLV who had to fight them off... 😁

[@TheCruisingKiwis]

Absolutely! They are cute but can be scary critters.

[@jamesvanian5524]

Love the Shades Ivan. I really enjoy seeing work done on boats. Well done Ivan and Oliie, not forgetting Rob. You are in a beautiful area of the world and it's nice to see Rachel back. Happy Birthday. Yes the U.K. is cold. As interesting and varied as usual like many others I look forward to your videos. Keep well and safe. James.

[@TheCruisingKiwis]

Those fellas done great

[@danielwardin3609]

I see Ivan and Ollie share an offbeat sense of humor; bring it on! So, you will go to Sri Lanka -- birthplace of _serendipity_ , subject of one of your early videos -- in the end. Good show, guys!

[@TheCruisingKiwis]

Ivan and Ollie worked well together, it's been great for Ivan having Ollie around. Wish I had caught more of their humour although some of it needed to be censored.

[@kidonaboat]

I LOVE you guys. I have said it before...Zatara is good but I like you guys so much better. I think KZbin must be waiting for Rob in a Speedo to really promote you. That is the only thing I can figure. Ivan is always the entertainer so he is obviously carrying the channel. lol Cheers!

[@TheCruisingKiwis]

Thank you Marc. If only we had had girls then we could pimp them out in their bikinis!! Maybe Ivan could be persuaded?🤔

[@evanlewis5347]

The joys of boatwork. I had a little incident last summer with our runabout and I have a little bit of fiberglass work that I have been putting off for way to long!!

[@TheCruisingKiwis]

Should be OK depending on the severity but yeah it needs to be done sooner or later.

[@stefanieobermeder2065]

Love you guys! Keith travels too fast in my opinion. I love seeing what u see n learn More SE Asia, hooray!!!

[@Stevek1969]

Yes I would agree with the comment on the speed of zatara. Still admire what they have done but if your doing it once do it right. But again everyone has different ideas of what they want to see and do. Take nothing away from both of these families and the adventures they have provided their kids. Hats off to both families.

[@TheCruisingKiwis]

We travel to experience the culture and meet the people, which takes time. We spoke to Keith this week and he said Europe is proving to be more expensive than they thought so I think we have made the right decision.

[@Useless_Knowledge07]

I enjoyed Rachel's welcome back video. It appears the boys enjoy helping Rob. I found that opening my eyes wider and even having more light seems to make reading like it use to be! Rachel hit it on the nose though. Glasses make things sharper.

[@TheCruisingKiwis]

I don't know if enjoy would be the word they would choose but they have been wonderful to have around. The deal may have been sweetened with a bit of pocket money 🙂.

[@TheCruisingKiwis]

Thank you JC. We will have a Finn and Declan catchup next week so stay tuned.

[@OnTheFlipSide]

Great episode!! Rob, I know how you feel with the glasses, I finally gave in and have some now, it's amazing how clear things are, maybe you just got used to not seeing everything clearly. Great to have you all back in the sameish time zone. Ivans story and The Nappy!!!! OMG 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@TheCruisingKiwis]

I did try a pair of off the rack glasses at one point but lost them. I only really needed them for reading so I would forget to book an appointment with the optometrist until the evening, when I was picking up my book, by then everything was closed. But they do feel that they have come right again.

[@Stevek1969]

Another great episode. Looks like the “boys” actually did some work while the boss was away! Not sure about the extra paint job on the hull though!🤣😂😉🤔. When is Ivan getting his own stand up comedy show?

[@TheCruisingKiwis]

Ivan and Ollie have been great, I couldn't have done it all without them. It's been very easy having Ollie on board to help out, he and Ivan have got on like a house on fire. Unfortunately I missed most of their boy banter. They were very funny together.

[@adammallerman8153]

Had you guys gone for the Red Sea passage to the Med you'd have arrived round about the time the Houthis started firing and then you'd have been well and truly stuck so good call his!

[@TheCruisingKiwis]

Hey Adam. 👋 yeah probably good timing indeed. I see several boats are still doing the red sea now so when we leave Thailand heading west soon we may still go that way.

[@pr1666]

I am voting for exploring Asia, lots more countries and not many of the cruisers go to those locations. Looks like a beautiful place to do work. Like Woody from Mothership adrift said "cruising is doing boat maintenance in exotic locations".

[@TheCruisingKiwis]

Yeah it really is a fantastic location though wish there wasn't so much boat maintenance going on.

[@MrFroglips69]

Another groovy episode.

[@TheCruisingKiwis]

Thank you very much!

[@ceebee8897]

Do be cautious around the monkeys. Riley on LaVagabonde got bitten in either Thailand or Vietnam grabbing one of the kids that the monkey was approaching. The monkey charged him. He had to have the rabies shots and it was pretty dodgy! I do not understand why you don't have 100K followers! C'mon Kiwis!! Welcome back Rachel & Happy Birthday!

What a great place to do boat work. Isn't that what they say cruising is about? Doing boat work in exotic places? Those monkeys looked very concerned about what Ollie was doing up the mast.

[@TheCruisingKiwis]

It makes boat work a pleasure when you know you can kick back in the evening beside the pool

[@DYoung-vt8pq]

I started watching your channel @ the beginning but popped forward to watch this video. I couldn't believe that was Ivan! He was in his dancing phase back then. Safe travels ❤️

Hey guys. Can you tell me the name of the Marian you're staying in. I'll be up that way next year. Also, you said you may stay 12 months in Asia. How are you going to contend with cyclone season and insurance or will you be above that area. I'm interested in your thoughts as I would like to spend a year or so up that way myself. Safe travels.

[@TheCruisingKiwis]

It's Rebak marine near langkawi Island. Great facilities. We intend to stay below 10 degrees so less likely to have them. Might even cross the equator again to the southern hemisphere. Either way my understanding is that 10 degrees either north of south of equator you're fine.
