They’re Making Me Leave Thailand
Our time cruising Thailand takes another unexpected turn.
Before leaving the boat, Nika decides to enjoy one last swim off the back — and apparently swimsuits are optional. Then it’s time for me to leave Thailand for a quick visa run to Singapore while Nika and the dogs move into an Airbnb on Koh Samui.
I fly out, reset my visa, and make it back to Thailand ready to get aboard and continue sailing.
Unfortunately, the boat has other plans.
The manufacturer had already made one repair, but shortly after we return, another failure leaves us without a working generator or propulsion system. With the boat unable to move and more repairs needed, we’re forced to pack up again and head back to another Airbnb while the manufacturer tries to get everything working.
But before we leave the boat… there’s time for one more swim.
Sailing Thailand definitely hasn’t gone according to plan.

Goodbye Thailand… It’s Time to Sail My Old Boat Again!
My time in Thailand has finally come to an end, and this one was a little bittersweet. I spend my last day with Nikka at a beach club before saying goodbye before sunrise and beginning a very long journey home. First came a 12-hour trip by van, ferry, and another van to Bangkok, where I had to drop...
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!

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.
