The Log
With an occasional visit from ‘Malaysia Maritim’ or the local fishermen to break the monotony, we enjoyed the chance to get a good night’s sleep before moving on.
We have however discovered a strange
phenomenon in our meanderings – irrespective of the monsoon season
and no matter which way we are headed, the wind is ALWAYS from the
direction in which we wish to go.
Our last few days amid the islands of eastern Phang Nga
Bay have brought disappointment after our last trip here in March.
Much more of the coral is destroyed and if it wasn’t so tragic it
would be funny; charter boats dropping their guests at one end of
the reef whilst the crew nets their fish dinner at the other! We will be here for another few days before heading back to Langkawi for December and returning to Thailand with crew to visit the Similan Islands during January.
After our sailing (yeah right!!) back to Langkawi early December, we
will be doing a quick land trip to Satun to meet with our lovely
friends at the great PSS Shipyard and then looking after Bobo’s, the
great yachtie hangout at Jeti Pelankongan near Kuah, for three weeks
over Xmas. We are planning the ubiquitous ‘Orphan’s Xmas Lunch’ so
look forward to seeing any displaced sailors for a beer or two!
Caught up with crew of ‘Australian Maid’, here for the King’s Cup
and what fun to see the Edmonds aboard. Good Luck guys! Quite a few
Darwin yachts arriving – perhaps an offshoot of Dinah Beach CYA and
DSC is needed? Speaking of ex-Darwin stalwarts here in Thailand …
our thanks to Andrew for doing the hard yakka on the long overdue
website. May all your bars be wooden and well-stocked!
