 ❤️❤️❤️ Happy Valentine’s Day ❤️❤️❤️

We woke up to storm clouds and decided we needed to move out of our rolly bay quickly.  There was dew on the deck of the boat.  We were trying to pull the anchor quickly so I went to the anchor locker without putting my shoes on.  The anchor was up and I was reaching to adjust it when my foot slipped and I fell into the anchor locker.  Ouch!  I’m going to have a big bruise on my bum.

We were on our way and decided to go to back to Bang Bao, a very sheltered bay.  We anchored and stayed there for a few hours while we waited for the text from the base with the weather.  We decided to come back to Koh Mak because tomorrow we are going back to the base to get water and fuel.  We were going to try to go to the German bakery on the end of Koh Mak but the swell was too much so we just bagged it and headed to the north shore of Koh Mak.  We got anchored and took a nap!  

Then we went into the resort for a drink and use their internet.  We came back to the boat and relaxed.  I’m reading Dan Brown’s Origin and I can’t put I down! 

There is another catamaran in the bay and it had flowers on the front.  I don’t think I’ve mentioned that the Thai people tend put flowers on all of their vehicles.  These flowers are offerings to Mae Yanang the goddess of journeys and are the Thai equivalent of carrying a St Christopher medallion.

Later we returned to the island and had a great dinner at Seavana.  It was an early night because we hadn’t gotten much sleep the night before.
