| About: |
Finally, we are back in the water in Boat Lagoon after 3 weeks of refit "on the hard" here with great support from Pro-Carpentering, C&C Marine, Local Sail, Chalomark Inflatables, and East Marine Svcs. Also, the good advice and moral support from Eivind and Heidi on the Norwegian s/v EMPIRE and [...]
the fun we've had watching young Eirik grow-up and learn to connect with the world and his family has been a treat! We are, hopefully, leaving here in the next day or two and heading out to explore the Thai harbors and islands in this amazing archepelago! The hard worl is almost done as we bend on sails and wire nav lights as well as clean, clean, clean!! We have an ever-rising tide over the next couple of days and figure we can escape this mud-hole with a minimum of damage to our new anti-fouling in the next two days. We'll probably head south to Ao Chalang and Nai Harn to reconnect with EMPIRE before taking off to explore some of the more out-lying islands over the next few weeks before Nat has to fly to Sydney, Mumbai and Hong Kong for on-going Ariel coaching work. We are deeply grateful for all the encouragement and support we've received from family and friends over the last few weeks and look forward to sending more blog updates soon!
Much love, Nat and Betsy

24 January 2010 | Boat Lagoon, Phuket
Good news from Phuket! As of 1500 hrs on January 22, 2010, BAHATI was back in her element again! The final days of polishing and painting went very smoothly. Mike and his able crew had everything ready and under control for the arrival of the travel lift gang (10 guys!) @ a little past 1400 and we [...]

You can look in the latest photo gallery to actually see how things are progressing...but suffice it to say, we are very happy with what Mike Hjort, Moo, Kwan and [...]

29 November 2009 | Port Dickson, Malaysia

My first passage alone...not my first choice but necessary to get us to Thailand by mid-Dec! Actually, a treat to be out there alone not having [...]
