You’re right. Boats don’t like being left unused for long periods.. especially in the heat and humidity here.

Thanks Izzi
Are you coming into the marina tomorrow?
We’re hopefully back on the water tomorrow but won’t be leaving the marina until next weekend

Haha! Yes, indeed. It seems to be never-ending. Boats, eh?

Hi Tom
Just when we think that everything that can go wrong has been fixed another problem. Just as we think we’re finally on our way!
Currently we’re at anchor wondering what to do about the oily stain in the bottom of the engine. A leaking seal? Waiting for the engineer to start work on a Monday morning.
The joys of boating. Thailand does not want us to leave. Still lots of fabulous times ahead I’m sure.

PS we are Indian Ocean not Pacific thankfully. Poor people in Tonga.

Hi Duncan & Sue
Happy new year to you too. Unfortunately the technical challenges continue but I’m sure we will be able to get away soon 🤞… and the rewards are definitely worth it.
How’s life in Bristol?

Hi Steve
Yes, we absolutely loved our time in the hongs.
We’re hoping to finally leave Thailand in about a week now… hopefully a bit more cruising here before we do

Best wishes from a cold England

I think your photographs are fabulous and really show just exactly what it’s like …. Heaven ! Hopefully it won’t be too long before you’re back out on anchor … just as we’re coming back into the Marina !!! 🙁

Something always seems to go wrong when you set off after a break!
