    Hello all,

    Anyone ever done an island hopping trip through the Riau Islands off peninsular Malaysia, and over to Kuching in Sabah?

    Looks like it might be doable during the SW monsoon. I’m thinking of starting in Mersing on the mainland and hitting Tioman, Jemaga, Siantan, Riau, then SE to Subi Besar and Kuching.

    Except for Tioman, these islands are Indonesian. Wondering if there is any way to check in to the lesser islands, or if anyone might care or even know I was there. Could simply anchor off the beach. Seems like I could check out of Malaysia at Mersing, then without going ashore along the way, Check into Indo at Riau. Then check out there and into Kuching, Sarawak.

    Anyone ever done this and have first hand info on this stuff and possibly on tides, currents, dangers along the way? China sea is pretty shallow and narrow there, so that may be a concern. Any free sailing directions that someone might know of?

    Thanks to all,
