We take off this time to Koh Khai Nok in Phuket Thailand to get more experience sailing
We have been trying to spend as much time on the water as possible to build on our sailing experience. Phuket Thailand has really been a gem of a location to get out there on the water and learn how to sail. The eastern side of the island is very protected from all sides and the area is extremely well charted. Koh Khai Nok is the second island in the chain that normally has 100s power boats and can attract up to a 1000 partying tourist to the two small islands at any given time. But now during Covid times these island are basically baron and a great little 24 mile, out and back, day journey for us. I feel learning by doing ends up teaching you more when you make a mistake than when everything goes fine. We ran into a problem when we attempted to put up the code 0 sail. We have learned so much from our friends that we have meet. We have found sailors to love to share their information and knowledge to us rookies. During the whipping around of the Code 0 in 15 to 20 knots winds I was relaxed and took my time as our friend Hubert had taught us during our semi-regular nightly hang out sessions. His exact words were; slow down, relax and come up with a plan and the do it, safely. His advice was gold. We hope you enjoy this weeks adventure!
