Lynne then also expressed her pleasure at this revelation ,as I had decided to forgo the pleasure of a $100 a day marina berth and was contemplating just hanging about on the anchor in Ao Chalong Bay, awaiting my next crew, as Lynne has to return to Oz. She wasn't happy at the thought of leaving me at anchor and prefered to see K'Gari snugged up in marina somewhere before she had to leave, as did I!
We set off for the other end of the island about 0730 the following morning.
Just for the record- we didn't bother to even set the main sunshade!
Our courses took us through the anchorage for the deep sea port and onwards to the southern extremity of the famous Phang Nga Bay region. Yes you have seen the photos- even if you don't know it, they were taken in Phang Nga Bay. The towering rock formations projecting from the sea- that's Phang Nga Bay.
We passed several islands with anchorages that may prove interesting later, but the advice we had received suggested the best time for entry to our allotted berth would be 1330- slack water.
That went seamlessly well, and yes I now understand why slack water is a good idea, as to get to our allotted berth, we passed through a very narrow entrance, which is absolutely at 90 degrees to the tidal flow.
Checked in at the office and made arrangements there and then to move a couple of spaces further inwards down the finger , away from the very narrow entrance, the next morning.
