Just some random photos

Just some random photos that help me remember our journeys and make me smile....

Transitioned to sailing with a few quiet days on Ko Chang where we were going to charter our boat from, and take some time to catch up on journaling and blogging. Which of course takes three times  as long on the islands with their random in and out and very slow wifi service.
Amazing food, cute little bungalows at Saffron by the Sea, and no tourists or someone trying to sell us something all just a short ferry ride away.




Watching the sunset while eating at our resort (can you call it a resort if there are only seven bungalows?). Rated number 1 Thai restaurant on the island.
Best on our travels so far.


Once we got on our sailboat and began our tour of the islands we saw so many different types of fishing boats with most out at night with their neon green lights shining out in the horizon. You could often hear Thai pop music coming from the boats as they came in to the bays.





Lots of fun smaller fishing boats painted in different bright colours.

 Enjoying the many different views and sights from the boat and when on land.   A variety of resorts from expensive to small bungalows with no power.  Quiet empty bays and some attempts at hikes in to view waterfalls. Alas.... The waterfalls are not their most glorious right now.  A dramatic change from rainy to dry seasons.  Good thing I have a good imagination.





Yep, this waterfall has potential!


An unusual occurrence ..... Another boat anchored in the same bay, but it happens.... Imagine that, we aren't the first to do this. 





Happy times when the wind is in the sails...




 Stopped occasionally at a resort for something really cold..... Please!
No ice maker on the boat.



Simply Put...... Just enjoying the different views that came our way.


A different sunset every night.


Play time as often as possible!!

Checking out the different night sky.

A very simple fishing village that looked more charming from the water. Reality was stark living in bare homes on stilts all open to the dock.

Captain Brad taking us off to another island and another sunset!

For those wondering if all our sailing photos were taken all in one day, because Brad is always in the same shirt, The answer is no. Between the heat and extra humidity from the rain, the only time you feel dry or are dry, is when there is a breeze.  So Brad's logic is why soak a new shirt every day. Just wear the same one.  Eight days in a row. Can't wait to see some new clothes in Vietnam.
