This was a busy day! Grandma and Grandpa sailed for five hours on CanKata. Well, actually we used one of the motors because the winds were very calm and the sail just flapped around, not knowing quite what to do.
We are on our way back to Phuket from the northern end of Thailand
We ended our sail at Ban Thap Lamu, where there is a Navy base and LOTS of fishing boats. We had a yummy lunch at the Navy Club Restaurant with our friends Julie and Steve from the yacht Aqua Dreams. Then we walked through the village – everyone was friendly and said hello – stopping at a hardware store for a fish hook, an ice cream stand for Magnum bars, the boat yard, and then the 7-Eleven for a few supplies.
We spent the rest of the day resting on CanKata, watching a movie and eating popcorn, and thinking about our sweet grandchildren.
