Which normally wouldn't be a problem, except that Liz hadn't quite finished stowing. In this episode we finally begin our new adventure in prehistoric Phangnga bay. Like a mini version of Halong Bay in Vietnam (but without the crowds) the northern part of Thailand's favourite cruising ground is littered with startling limestone karsts. Tunnels, funnels, channels and caves honeycomb these deserted islands, and if you choose your time carefully, you'll often be the only yacht there. The area is like nowhere else we have visited from Turkey to Thailand, and we hope the footage will give you some idea of what we experienced. This is just the beginning... As we hope the latest chapter in our story shows, sailing in Thailand is like nowhere else: the weather and sea state change hourly; in one morning, the unique topography morphs from white sand beach to vertical cliff; and as you look up from a swimming monitor lizard, Brahminy kites circle overhead, or perhaps bats hang from the roof in a pitch-black cave. Peace and fair winds! Liz, Jamie and Millie ****************************** This episode features some of the best music so far in our sailing series.
