Easy motor to
Au Chalong (Phuket) anchorage where we arrived just after midnight, yesterday. Motored whole way from Langkawi - light winds
on the nose. Hoping for stronger and nice angle for our sail out to Banda
Aceh.
Only have about
36hrs in Phuket. LPG filled and 2x alternators dropped off for service repair.
Quick catch up with Mick and Som onboard Polaris currently at Rattanachai Port
for new everything. (Polaris is a converted 170 foot long former World War II
torpedo boat.).
Victualling today,
which is good, we have a list without the usual 15 cartons of beer and 20
cartons of soft drink to even us up! Also will be picking up alternators
today regardless - hoping they are fixed, no time to wait longer as must dash to
Banda Aceh at N tip of Sumatra to pick up Andy and guests for Mentawais surf
charter.
WIll pull anchor as soon as alternators re-fitted later today,
ideally sometime before midnight for arrival time Banda Aceh early morning on
the 25th.
