To the Royal Phuket Marina
 We left Al’s beach at eight
thirty for our final journey of Alex’s holiday – just shy of ten miles to the
Royal Phuket Marina.
 We leave the bay to two
catamarans – so perfect here save for the
no-see-ums............
   Getting closer to the stacks – they really look their size
as a motor catamaran heads in.
 Leaving the stacks behind us as a yacht sails
by.
 The mainland coming into view.
 Looking
south.
 Second mate – hard at
work...............
 We
watched as this fisherman laid a complete circle of
net.
 Closing
in on the mainland.
 Our
Pilot whizzing toward Beez.
 We
radioed the marina, the lady said to keep the markers to our right............
our pilot told me to keep the markers on our
left.............
 Two boats came out of the marina. The dredged channel is
twenty metres wide.
   Like buses and
policemen.........
 Our
happy pilot and my unhappy back from yesterdays
no-see-ums.....
   Final corner, looking back and
the marina entrance (corner not to be
cut).
 Our track in, a bit different to the white line on the
map......
   Our
pilot jumped out into his dinghy at the marina entrance and shot off, leading
the way to D4. The line handlers were swift and efficient and we were soon settled, handed a Welcome Pack, three cold bottles of
water and three face wipes. The only sting in the tail is they have no 12 metre
slots so we have to pay 25% more to be in a 15 metre berth. This will be the
first time we haven’t just had to pay for Beez own length..........
Growl.
 Our Grand Tour. The
route we have taken in the last nineteen days. Fourteen moves, two in hire car,
two on trips and a total of just one hundred and twenty one miles on Beez
Neez.
ALL
IN ALL A FULL CIRCUIT OF FUN AND SCENERY
BEAUTIFUL SUNNY
DAY
