Having removed the dodger to have another one made we have now had three days of rain! Quick heavy showers on Saturday and Sunday but a full day of rain yesterday--the first prolonged rain we have had for a very long time---and of course it all went into the cabin every time we opened the companionway hatch!
However it did not stop the shopping in Phi Phi Don on Monday morning followed by lunch and then a climb up 300 steps to the view point above Phi Phi----magnificent views over both bays.
We returned to Marita who was pitching in a heavy swell and Helen achieved yet another dive (No 2) into the water when transferring from dinghy to boat. Fortunately no damage to Helen or boat.
A 25 mile sail today to Panwa Bali -----a gentle four hour run at 4 knots in light winds followed by a one hour blast of wind and rain in a heavy squall topping 28 knots. Now at anchor in total calm.
