Having sorted the immediate problem of the dinghy, we were able to enjoy some of the performances associated with LIMA, Langkawi International Maritime and Aerospace (Festival), which is celebrated every two years. There were big air displays and most of the Malaysian Navy were anchored on our route from Rebak to Kuah - all dressed overall for us - it is kind of these people to give us such a welcome. The rather frightening man in the picture was really quite friendly and posed for me before giving a friendly wave, but apart from being a traditional dance in local costume, we could only guess that the dance was associated with harvest and fertility. It was odd that the male figures seemed pregnant?
Say what you 
will, the Malaysians certainly understand brash. This is a modest hotel near the anchorage in Kuah. Kathy and I had to walk past it regularly on our quest for spare parts and provisions. On this road on Wednesdays and Saturdays, a night market is set up, with the stalls selling mostly food. The Malaysian people often have no need to cook. Kathy and I regularly purchased a full meal with a drink each for 12 Ringgit, which is less than £2.50. It would be difficult to buy the ingredients here for less.
