FINALLY IN THAILAND! Dina's World Tour Finale & Arrival in Phuket

https://youtu.be/5CZ-jti4HPI The #sailing journey of a lifetime reaches its final destination! Join #captaingermanexploring and Dina as they navigate the last miles of Dina's incredible #circumnavigation. From the moment they enter #Thailand territorial waters near #KohLanta, the #adventure remains as unpredictable as ever. In this full episode, we take you through the technical and emotional reality of #yachtlife and finishing a #worldtour. We explore the #maritime route through the #AndamanSea, facing everything from #technical challenges to #tropical weather. During our stop, we discovered that the local #food on the island is absolutely amazing. We had a real #feast in the Old Town, enjoying fresh #crab and #seafood at a local restaurant. The #cooking here is authentic and delicious! The #voyage wasn't easy, as we had to battle a #storm and heavy #rain on the way to #PhiPhiIsland. We passed the iconic #MayaBay, navigating through heavy #boat traffic before our final #arrival. This isn't just a #sailingvlog; it's the closing of a global circle. Watch as we reach #Phuket, marking the triumphant end of an epic #solosailing #travel experience. Stay tuned for the upcoming exclusive #interview where Dina shares her full #story!
