no issues, really smooth process. Helen described the system well

When boarding in Langkawi, they stamp you out of Malaysia and the captain keeps your passport. The ride is usually fine, weather depending. When you get to Lipe, the captain hands over all the passports and you wait around immigration to get called. This can take a long time depending on how many people/ferries arrived at one time.
