Took some photos of the outboard and put it up for sale on local internet sites. The forecast for the next few days is not good with some 50knt winds forecast as well as torrential rain. The weather maps show a deepening cyclone heading towards us. I decided that I would tie everything down and go ashore to meet Angus and stay ashore for the next 2 nights. I had found the first bar you reached had rooms to rent, at £15 a night. The owners boyfriend was from England and all his friends came drinking there. The guy I chatted to while I waited for angus was the graphic designer for the Argos catalogue which was published in Phuket. The torrential rain was just a drizzle and there was less wind than the past week and we could easily have managed a dry trip to the boat but Angus was delighted to have a meal and turn into a nice air conditioned room to recover from the trip.
