Sailing Day 1 - Dec 28 - Chalong to Ko Yao Yai

We were dropped off at a commercial dock on our new home for 7 nights.  It was a 48 foot Laguna Cataraman with a Captain (Nong), Cook (Oy), and deckhand (Ming).   After staying at a large resort it was tough figuring out how we were all going to stay on the boat.  We were nervous as we sailed from Chalong to Ko Kahi Nok and Ko Khai Nai where we snorkeled.  It wasn't anything fabulous, and there were lots of tourists.  We were starting to get more nervous about our adventure.

 

The food on the boat was amazing.. Even Gillian liked it!

 

This was our approach to Ko Kahi Nok 

There were tons of fish swimming around us while we snorkeled.  A few jellyfish too!

 

After a few jellyfish stings, we moved on to Ko Khai Nai for some Kayaking.

We liked the reverse Mohawk on this island.

Finally some evening cocktails to take the edge off!  We spent most of our cruising time on this part of the boat.  It was comfortable and cool with air coming from below.
