We said goodbye to Lucy on Saturday after lunch and had supper on board due to the low tide at the beach restaurant - the reef was exposed.

Yesterday we left Panwa Bali and sailed up the coast of Phuket to the Yacht Haven again in order to prepare the boat for shipping, have the new dodger fitted and leave the lazy jack at the canvas makers to be replaced - the sun has worn holes in the top so the mainsail needs more protection.

This morning there was no wind so we managed to take the sails down before breakfast. The new dodger is fitted and looks great. Camelot sailed here today so we had our final supper together - they are sailing back to Langkawi next week to renew their visas and then putting the boat on shore till next year when Camelot will be shipped to Marmaris. They are returning to Norway so we will not see them for a while, we have been so lucky to have sailed with such a lovely family.
