Light winds today. Changing spot today to explore more of Koh Kood. Motor-sailing to charge the batteries. A/C not working so the fans worked overtime and we also used the induction plate to cook pasta. Clouds in the morning also impaired our energy efficiency. Fishing line got caught in a crab pot. Lost my nice lure 😖

Rough night in a very choppy bay. Short sail to reach a more protected anchorage. Nice wind that reached 20kn apparent. Also big seas with up to 2 m waves. Early at the new spot for lunch at the Deck Bar.

Return trip All good things must come to an end. After an amazing snorkelling experience in Koh Mak, we head north for Koh Chang. Unfortunately no wind today, motoring the whole way. Little swim stop at Koh Ngam. Docked the boat like a boss!

Wind died on us soon after we left. We carried on as long as we could. When boat speed went down to half a knot, I called it quits

After a great seafood lunch, we carried on to our anchorage for the night. Another fishing village with a beautiful Buddha statue.

10 knots when we left Koh Mak this morning but very quickly died on us. Tried very hard to sail but we had to call it quits. Now anchored in Captain Hook’s bay ready to explore. Supposed to have a nice coral reef.

Good wind 10-15 kn. Down wind most of the day. Good swell 1-2m. Sophie didn’t like. Finally got the code 0 out and made a good 6kn of speed. Grabbed a mooring for a while at Koh Rang but the swell was too much. Picked up everything and headed for Koh Mak. Anchored for a couple hours but the wind is 180° off from Windy app. Hope it will change soon so we can sleep.

Not much wind today. Just enjoying my last day on the water.

Light winds 8 to 10 knots. Solo sailing for the first time and worked up the guts to pull out Mr Big Guy (Code 0). Had a couple of nice gusts 💨 manage to get up to 7 knots. Picked up my first mooring ball ever and solo on top of that. Awesome day all around.
