FAST SAILING - HOW CLOSE TO THE WIND CAN WE GET? Ep 53

We make a pre-dawn start on a 45 mile sail south from Chalong Bay. As we head clear of Phuket, the Indian Ocean swell is met by strong easterlies, giving us a fast and wet sail to Koh Rok Nok, yet another of our favourite islands in Thailand. Those easterlies build as we head for an even faster sail south east to the Butang archipelago, a stunning group of islands which forms part of the Tarutao National Park. Millie has the best freshy-fishy supper in ages! But Liz has a flight to catch, so as time slips away we plan the best angle of attack to avoid heading straight into 3 metre waves. --- If you enjoy or have even learned something from our videos, please SUBSCRIBE to our channel, and if you really like our work may be throw us a bone by...
