We are very excited to be on the move again after 3 months of laptop work in our sailboat, in the same anchorage, in Malaysia. It was enough to drive us stir-crazy as we are so accustomed to being on the move! But before we set sail to Thailand, we must fix a leak in our water tank, replace a light bulb up the mast, and do a 2-month-long provision. Hence time spent in a marina. I hope you enjoy coming along for another day in the life of sailboat life! #sailing #sailinglife #sailingadventure #passionforlife https://www.skipperblogs.com/searchingforcoconuts Theme song: (Audio Network) Aotearoa (Mark Williams, Adam Alexander, Bruce Maginnis) Additional music: (Epidemic Sound) "nothing this week" Please like and subscribe, and send us your thoughts and reactions.
