[status]We are currently anchored in Ao Chalong. It's been a VERY busy week, with lots of boat projects, time in a Marina - the first time since NZ over 2 years ago, and getting to know Thailand. We made fast friends with Erik on another Antares who lives in Phuket. He's been VERY helpful for us and made our search for vendors much easier. Our list of boat projects include: new tubes for our dinghy, new cockpit enclosures, new upholstery throughout the boat, new set of sails, some woodwork fixes, and misc items that are not working that need to be fixed. It's going to be a busy month before more guests arrive. We've enjoyed having friends aboard, and are now enjoying getting back into our normal routines with school and projects. Overall we like Thailand (a bit more expensive than expected), but overall a nice area. We still prefer Indonesia...but that may change over time. :-)
