What a day! Besides being a Sweet 16 Day, it is also the day that Aunty Marleen and Uncle Larry have been married for forty years! Wow – that’s a lot of years.
It’s a Sunday, so we know that you two didn’t have to go to school, and we are wondering what you did instead.
Here’s what we did: we sailed CanKata from Ao Po Marina to Ao Chalong. “Ao” is Thai for “bay”. If you say “ow” it sounds just about the same. We had left CanKata in the marina while we visited Northern Thailand , and then we stayed a while longer while we moved some of our stuff into storage. We’re trying to get CanKata as empty as possible while we get her ready to sell.

Ao Chalong is a big bay, a safe anchorage, is close to good shopping and restaurants and massages, and it’s free! So that’s why we went there.
The trip took us about five hours and it was wonderful – calm and sunny. Both Grandma and Grandpa took turns at the helm (driving the boat) and we enjoyed some snacks on the way. Too bad we didn’t get to a restaurant, so we’ll have to have our Sweet 16 Beef another day.

And now we’re getting ready to head to a marina in Langkawi. That’s where we catch our plane to fly to Costa Rica
And finally, here are a couple more SpongeBob jokes:
Squidward: What’s the best day for a Krabby Patty?
SpongeBob: Fry day!
How is SpongeBob’s favourite squirrel like the beach?
Both are Sandy
Bye for now. All our love, Grandma and Grandpa Sailor.
