Anchorages
Langkawi's anchorages listed here are those that are good for specific times of the year - unlike temperate and cold climes where seasons govern cruising activities - here it is the monsoons ie. the North East which comes without rain and the South West that brings rain from the Indian Ocean. Therefore in choosing where to anchor remember where the prevailing wind will come from and most importantly remember that during the SW Monsoon, winds called "Sumatras" will descend without warning from the west coming through for a short time at speeds that will have the potential to take your awning away and unfurl your headsail. Note : Pulau in Malay means island
Anchorages in no particular order :-
Pulau Timun 06d 19m N x 099d 55m E a. 06d 19.0m N x 099d 52.9m E Mud b. 06d 19.2m N x 099d 55.9m E Mud c. 06d 13.7m N x 099d 55.7m E Mud
