In our last episode of 2015 we go night sailing, take in Thailand’s first marine national park island, discuss near-by boat refugees, spend the night on a slope and yes, we make it back to the shipyard to begin those repairs… (con’t)

We slip the mooring line without any issues and make our way east then south towards the Bulon Islands. Being night-time there’s not much footage to show you apart from the odd squall along the way. We continue to motor into the night
At first light we approach the Bulon islands. The water is flat calm and the moon is full. It makes for an atmospheric motor, past floating villages of fishermen rafted up in the their long tails. There is no traffic and, aside from the motor, it’s a tranquil start to the new day.
With everyone feeling refreshed we make our run down the east side of imposing Tarutao. It’s one of Thailand’s largest islands and the country’s first national marine park. Once a penal colony, it was the perfect place to cast away undesirables. With its unforgiving tropical rainforest, strong tidal currents and fierce salt-water crocodiles escape would have been nigh on impossible.
We drop the anchor in the middle of the east side in the lee of a small island that has come alive with bird song. Some of us are now ready to make the approach to Chebilang.
So… before we can haul out we spend a night tied up to a fishing boat. As we have explained the river here has a strong tide with a range of some meters, as we were to discover later that evening.
In the next episode we really do haul out and crack on with those repairs but in the meantime we wish you all a happy and festive holiday.
