SAILBOAT RUNS AGROUND! Ep 22

In the last episode we left you with Jamie and Brendon who had nipped over to Phiphi for the night. They took in the back streets, a storm and some thai boxing before returning to ao chalong. Back there, Jamie starts preparing Esper for her last journey of the season. Back in Ao Chalong they wait for the rain to subside and the clouds to pass before putting out the main and weigh anchor under a painted sky.

The last part of the journey sees them having to motor into wind and to an anchorage just outside their destination. At 2pm Yacht Haven calls through to let Esper and her crew know that it's time to come into the marina. With the help of the manager Nick and his staff, Brendon and Jamie tie up and head straight to a local restaurant for some light refreshments. Papas and Mamas is one of three restaurants in the area. It's built on stilts as it's surrounded by water at high tide. We find Papa, the proprietor, laughing his head off at a poor yachtsman who has run aground on a sandbank outside the marina. This little incident keeps Jamie and Brendon amused for a while. There but for the grace of god and all that... With Esper safely tied up Jamie takes a trip to the UK to see his family, but don't worry, we've got loads more to come! In the next episode we return to esper to find an unrecognisably large cat on our boat. And we start to prepare esper for some sailing around some of Thailand's most beautiful coast line.
