A Musician & a Photographer's quest to discover the simple life.
Some time mid September 2022, a month after we launched our sailboat UJUD whilst nestling into our “new life” routine within the safety of a Marina – we receive an email from a CNBC reporter – Miss Chiew Tong. In her email to us, she asks if we would be interested in sharing our story with her on CNBC.

Located on the West Coast of Malaysia, Teluk Batik is a beautiful spot to camp either in a tent or in a Campervan, Motorhome, Caravan. There are several Shower and Toilet blocks here and the ones for Campers is 24 Hours. It is kept clean by Manjung MPS which is the city council. This place is packed on public holidays and weekends however weekdays will promise you a half empty beach.
Buying a Sailboat is perhaps the easiest part but up keeping and storage when not in use was a huge stumbling block for us because of our lack of experience. In the end, we decided to educate ourselves further before committing ourselves to owning a Sailboat in Malaysia.
We hope you join us on our new adventure. Thank you for the love and support thus far. Usually towards…
It’s over a month since we relocated to Lumut and based ourselves in Pangkor Marina to work on getting a 48ft Sailboat back on water. This week’s episode we take a break from the boat work and visit Nipah Deli on Coral Beach for dinner.
Some days, we get the chance to chat with these sailors and Andrew noticed we have been working on our boat that is up on the hardstand. Boat work can be really challenging and for those difficult days ahead that we may face, Andrew wanted us to know exactly what it is all for so he offered us a day out sailing.
