Our Thai visa is coming to an end and we were planning to go to Malaysia by hitchhiking. We decided to keepin touch with friends who live permanently in Malaysia - one of them is currently in KL was absent, and the other was on his boat in Phuket and was just going back to Malaysia. We are very happy and "fell on the tail." Making passed quickly at Chalong Pier in new immigration (open until 15.00, consider when choosing a sea departure), the captain showed the documents to the boat, the crew, and we - the passport.
We fairly quickly slapped exit stamp and in the evening we had already left Phuket by sea. Waking up in the morning I found us just in the area of the archipelago of Phi Phi, which was due to two factors - 1. no wind 2. no diesel . The day turned out to be surprisingly hot and windless .... We melted aft, catching a faint breeze raised by spinnaker sail, the rate was 1.5-2 knots... We did not despair, and had tea)))
Meet on the way divers Lanta, sent a team to board in order to capture the drinking water, cold beer and cola.
On the boat was no beer, but the 3 liters of cola and 20 liters of drinking water were. By the evening the wind picked up and we went full steam ahead! How was fun! The sun was scorching is not so cruelly, the wind blew over the flushed face of the day, the mood of the team was upbeat.
However, the night wind verse again .... The guys take turns standing on the watch, we drank "Lipton" with sugar and chatted ... As always, the finest left-overs - not only did the feeling that we are on a small boat in the middle of the Andaman Sea and water everywhere, as far as the eye can see - this is something incredible, so still and glowing plankton! Keel was quite slow, but despite this long keel left sparkling trail. I have often seen this phenomenon, but that it was so bright! Then tuna came for a light - and here we are already seeing how the boat, in the luminous track plankton us follow a big fish! They also sparkled green and it is fascinating and frightening at the same time ...
The next day, too, was hot and windless, the team rested, Alex was at the helm))))
By mid-afternoon we reached the archipelago Bhutan - border of Thailand and Malaysia. Wind does verse boat was barely on the set course .... And then there they are! In the open sea, first in the distance, and then closer and closer - Dolphins! I was so surprised that not even thought about the camera ... A flock of about 10 dolphins slowly walked past us on the left side and disappeared over the horizon ... The first time I saw wild dolphins in the wild ... They are cool!) ))
At night we went to Langkawi spent on the way 2 days and 3 nights. In the morning, checked into the marina, easily and without question got a stamp for 30 days and went to a nearby bay.
ПAfter a time on a boat on dry land I began to swing))) I sit in peace at the table - and then HOW swing! Already elbows off the table and picks up the falling body is somewhere in the region of the table! Interesting effect before me this has already happened, but not on this scale. Noted the arrival in Langkawi beer and bruschetta!
Brasserie met yachtsman in the same T-shirt with the regatta in 2014. My, though slightly modified.
I want to thank Alexandr Velikohot'ko (our captain) for a great trip! THANK YOU, Sanya! It was cool))) About the adventures of Langkawi - in the next post.
