Well Christmas and New Year are behind us.It was a great time with friends from the marina and New Year on the beach at Nai Yang. Sam is on board and settling in well and the list of jobs seems to be getting smaller rather than bigger.

Guido arrives on Sunday and then all we are waiting for is our passports back with a visa for India stamped in them. assuming that happens then we expect to be away from here on the 8th or 9th January and off to the Andaman Islands some 400 miles away.
