BUMPER EPISODE! Covering summer in the UK and return to Thailand in September where Jamie receives a distress call. A number of maintenance jobs have to be finished before we head off to our first anchorage…
We catch up with our families–Jamie’s in Saffron Walden and Liz’s in Rye. We take in a maritime festival and make new friends at Brighton Marina before heading back to SY Esper in Phuket.

******************************
We were lucky enough to be invited to Brighton by Lorraine and Marco Hof, who we had connected with on-line. They keep their yacht in the marina, so we went along to say hello. SY Pension Games is an Oyster 406, and since Esper is an Oyster 435 we couldn’t resist a look round. It was a beautiful English summer day, so we made a night of it.
Jamie flew back to Thailand first and was greeted by a very fat and contented Millie-the-cat who had been spoilt by her wonderful carers while we were away.
The next day he picked up a distress signal on Ch 16…but it seemed that no-one else could hear the man calling for medical assistance. We have a powerful VHF radio on SY Esper, so Jamie offered to help, and after an hour of increasingly desperate conversations medical aid was sent to the unfortunate ship.
Keen to get out and sail, we had to go through more than the usual checks and services. The canvas work had been destroyed in the bad storms Jamie encountered on Ko Tarutao, the fuel pipe was leaking…and that watermaker needed some attention.
Finally, we got away to our first anchorage, leaving all those stresses and troubles behind us. At least for a while…
This is Liz’s first attempt at editing a full length followtheboat sailing log!
