My Visa Was Expiring… So We Sailed to Koh Samui

After spending a few nights anchored off the beautiful island of Koh Tao, it was time to continue south toward Koh Samui. We had a great sail down, found a mooring for the boat, and prepared to move ashore for a few days. My Thai visa was about to expire, which meant I needed to make a quick flight...

Climbing to the Temple in the Sky!

For the first time in a long time, I’m sailing toward a destination I’ve never visited before.

Just out of the Hospital, Should I be Sailing?

We sailed from Koh Larn to Koh Man Wichai, a beautiful island near Pattaya, Thailand, to join a beach cleanup organized by Ocean Marina. The place was absolutely gorgeous, but like so many remote islands, plastic and trash had washed up on shore. Together with the group, we helped haul off around 5...

She Took My Boat to Malaysia Without Me!

This was not the plan. A new crew member arrived in Thailand, and normally that would mean we’re getting ready to go sailing on the new yacht. But because of my recent illness and more hospital visits, I had to stay behind in Pattaya. So instead of me taking the boat, Olivia took over. She joined...

Day three of our shakedown cruise on my new yacht started anchored off Koh Larn, but we decided to sail about 15 miles west to the uninhabited island of Koh Phai.
