Wednesday 8^th December

A lovely anchorage at Koh Rok where we spent a couple of hours in the water cleaning the hull.

Sol Maria hosted dinner tonight, another nice party for the Magic’s, the Tippy’s and the Jackamy’s

Thursday 9^th December

A couple of hours of motoring saw us arriving at Koh Muk and anchoring in front of dramatic limestone rocks rising straight up out of the sea and towering above us.

We were rolled around a bit during the night from the waves deflecting off the rocks.

Friday 10^th December

In the morning we took the dinghy to the ‘Emerald Cave’.

The entrance to the cave is a very small pitch black passage way around 80 metres long leading to a completely enclosed, cathedral like ‘Hong’ (a cave open to the sky) with amazing high walls draped in lush green foliage and a small sand beach.

It is rumoured that pirates used the cave to hide their treasure – it was awesome !

This afternoon we motored a few miles across to Koh Ngai and we are anchored off a beautiful, long sandy beach with a few resorts scattered along the beach front.

We are only a day sail from Phuket now and we can’t wait to take Charlie and Katie to some of these beautiful islands.

We are also looking forward to sampling some of the Thai food ashore – as yet there hasn’t been any ATM’s on the tiny islands so we have no Thai currency for the local restaurants, besides it will be nice to share that with our visitors too !

Photos soon ….
