Heart and Soul: Love in the time of coronavirus

During the movement control order (MCO), we were confined to our small boat Charon, in a 3m by 3m cabin, for weeks. It contained our kitchen, a place to eat and somewhere to sleep. But during those weeks, we discovered each other and found peace and contentment.

I departed Krabi, Thailand, for Langkawi in late February onboard my 37-foot ketch Charon with a Thai crew member Yim, who was interested in seeing Malaysia.
