Boxing Day saw us head back to Kuah. We had ordered motor bikes for an early start but ended up with a car so we headed down the main road for Kuah town where we cleared Harbour Master, Customs and Immigration before returning to old Kuah town for some breakfast and the trip back to Rebak on the ferry.

After an early start we were back at Rebak by 1100 so decided to clear the Marina and head for Koh Lippi, Thailand. Ended up motoring and motor sailing most of the way and used the opportunity to make water but had a pleasant passage arriving late afternoon in time to clear immigration, a simple and straightforward process with a 100 Bhat surcharge as it was a public holiday.

Took the opportunity to tour the island to get an overview in a "tuk tuk" or motorscooter with a side car taxi. Visited all the highlights and got the "lie of the land" in our hour long tour.

As a ferry had come in and moored quite close Dianne and myself went back to Charmar to check on things and Aidan stayed on the beach. It was some time before we got back as we moved and re-anchored Charmar and there was a strong breeze and fast flowing currents so we wanted to make sure she was pegged down before going back to the beach. A quick meal on the beach and back to Charmar.
