SPINNAKER SAILING DISASTER! We Rigged It Wrong…
It was supposed to be an easy final sail aboard our new yacht in Thailand… but things didn’t exactly go according to plan!
On our last day aboard before leaving the boat for a few months, we sail from Koh Phangan to Koh Samui and decide it’s finally time to test our spinnaker.
With only about 5 knots of wind, everything seemed perfect—until the wind suddenly jumped to nearly 20 knots. That’s when I discovered I had rigged the spinnaker wrong. I couldn’t furl it, couldn’t get it under control, and eventually had no choice but to drop the sail into the water while we were still underway.
Getting a giant waterlogged spinnaker back aboard turned into a serious workout—and a pretty good lesson in what NOT to do!
Join us for our final sail in Thailand before saying goodbye to the yacht for the next few months.

This Party Was STILL Going at 8AM! | Koh Phangan by Boat
We take our Highfield dinghy on an incredible tour of the east coast of Koh Phangan, exploring some of the most beautiful parts of the island — including beaches and bays that are only accessible by boat. Koh Phangan is famous for its parties, but there’s so much more to this island. We spend the d...

We Found One of Thailand’s Most Beautiful Hidden Bays
We sail into Ao Hat Yuan on Koh Phangan, one of the most beautiful bays I’ve ever visited. With no road access, the beach is only reachable by boat, and somehow we had the entire anchorage to ourselves. We spent the day swimming in crystal-clear water, riding the e-foil, relaxing in our floating po...
We’re Running Out of Diesel… And There’s None on the Island
We’re anchored off Koh Phangan, Thailand, but before we can continue our trip we have a problem—we’re getting pretty low on diesel.
