Family visits.

We're back anchored off the town of Patong on Phuket island in Thailand and have just waved my mum off at the Airport. She and my brother 'Tom' flew out three weeks ago for a holiday aboard Blue Moon cruising the Islands of Phang Nga bay. Tom is with us for another two weeks so we're trying to keep busy and enjoying moving around more than we probably would on our own!

Yesterday we stopped in Kata Bay where the Kings Cup Regatta is being held and enjoyed a fun night out with our friends Terry and Karen off 'Sora'. However, on our way home we spent about an hour trying to rescue all the dinghy's that had been left by the race boats too low on the beach and we're getting washed out by the high tide...obviously the difference between cruisers and racers is that they have more money than sense - ever heard of an anchor guys?!!
