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
