2 January Nai Yang aka Airport anchorage


The penultimate day of Amy and Andrew's holiday; they fly back to Perth tomorrow afternoon. For their last evening we've come to Nai Yang bay which is within sight of the airport, perhaps less than 2 miles from the departures lounge. We had a lazy afternoon swimming and reading, chilling and enjoying the sunshine in flat conditions.

However, somewhere over the horizon there might have been a storm because half way through the night while we were drifting around our anchor in no wind the swell built and rolled in. We rolled side-to-side, OK for us, we're used to it, not OK for Amy who had to have a seasickness tablet for breakfast. We spent most of the day ashore, first walking the beach from end to end and then a last Thai massage and a long, leisurely lunch. There's was just time for a last swim before we took our lovely guests ashore to catch a taxi to the airport. It was sad to see our young friends leave. We've had lots of fun and having guests enthuses us to do more, see the islands through fresh eyes, a chance to talk to non yachties. They brought us boat bits, books for which we were pleased. They didn't bring us coughs or colds for which we were most grateful.
