It poured rain for about 45 minutes last night. Rick was up in the middle of the night closing hatches. We bailed the dinghy and hung stuff out to dry. I finished my book (Origin by DanBrown, I highly recommend it). We left the anchorage around 9. We were headed to a small fishing village, on the south east side of Koh Kut, called Ao Yai. It was a rough sail because we had 15 knot winds in our face. We ended up stopping in Ao Salat, which is on northern side of the island and the anchorage with the big Buddha, for a break and to have lunch. After lunch we pulled the anchor and continued our hard sail to Ao Yai.
After anchoring and relaxing for a bit we dinghed to the village. It was similar to Ao Salat, maybe a little smaller. We had to climb this ladder from the dinghy to the dock.
We walked along absorbing the culture. Very basic but everyone seemed well feed. We stopped at a little bar and had a beer. We checked out a restaurant but were unsure about whether it was ok for us to eat there so we will just ate on the boat. Here are some pictures.
