Chasing Waves - South East Asia - Sailing Phang Nga

Chalong bay was pretty at a distance. Upon riding up into it, the lawlessness of the traffic flow remained much the same from land to sea. The “me first” mentality that was present on Thai roads still held true out on the muddied waterway. Speed boats ripped close to moored yachts sending waves in all direction keeping the bay at a boil of chaos.

Pulling to the far outside edge of the bay, the very well-respected Tayana 55 named the Way Shower rested idly to her lonesome. Just having gone through a recent refit of a complete repainting of her hull, she gleaned vibrant with a fresh energy. Up on deck, her recent upgrades and fine finishing touches by the previous owner gave quick indication of her being easy to handle on the solo.

Once past and to the out side of the bay, the better world opened up. A world that millions of people over the years have traveled to come and see. Exotic jade green seas encased within mangrove coastlines met suddenly with multitudes of stunning vertical faced islands. Picturesque settings that held eternal white sand havens and elaborate cave systems made any on looker want to quit life and live here forever.
