Navigated the Malacca Straight going to Singapore. I was on the bridge as we were leaving the harbor and we almost cut a Junk clean in half when she crossed right in front of our bow unexpectedly. It was close. Amazing to see all the ancient boats sailing around the area. Didn’t know they had pirates there also, makes sense though.
