Glassy to start then a nice easy sail back to the marina.

Like usual the forecast was wrong. Winds to 18kts. Good day to shake the cobwebs off the mainsail. A nice leg up towards Koh Lan and back. Saw the vessels returning from Koh Si Chang. The one being towed lost its propeller. Also the wind foil/ wind surfers were out today. Entry into berth ok. Still a little tricky. Had the vessel ahead being towed so took care to stay out of their way. (4 point turn!) all ok and docked without linesmen.

Windy - 15 to 18 knots. Sailed under foresail only. Very busy marina today with lots of entering and exiting vessels.

South wind 15-18knots. First sail in a while. First stop was the fuel dock. Blown on but getting off was hard. Simple out and back sail and into new slip. Much easier to get in this slip, achieved without line handlers.

Moving from one anchorage to another due to unfavourable and un- forecast wind and swell. More protection from S wind at Ao Soun Beach.

Excellent anchorage in 15m on silt. Very serene.

A little motor sailing but mostly motoring. Lumpy sea with uncomfortable swell but as forecast 0.4m
