      I agree they're spectacular - I wonder if you watch "Itchy Boots" (a woman from the Netherlands is riding her motorcycle down the west coast of Africa) She has a video out today and the last several videos have been amazing. She too is dealing with the rainy season (in Liberia).

    I’m so happy to have you back on the water. I didn’t realize that I missed how you do sailing adventures with joy and enthusiasm. I always look forward to your photography, loved seeing the bugs, who else takes pictures of bugs on vacation? Loved the flutter buy’s on the butterfly bush and of course the sunset/sunrise is mandatory. Thank you so much.

    It's not very comfortable (and maybe not practical for that many bites) but I've found the hot spoon trick works great on mosquito bites. Run the spoon under hot tap water (so it's not hot enough to burn, but it's uncomfortable) then hold the hot spoon on the bite. The heat denatures the protein that causes the itching and stops the itch immediately (and permanently)

    PhiPhi Relax looks like a little slice of Paradise - absolutely wonderful! OK, the bugs look like an entomologists delight, both the good and the bad. But the food, the staff (and owner), a little drink or two and most importantly - the views!

    😊I lived on the beach on Koh Lanta for 6 months in the mid ‘90s. My view was Koh PiPi - some of the storms were epic. I had left by the rainy season though. Worked at a dive school so am quite familiar with those waters, even back then there were problems with reef preservation. Lovely to see an old stomping ground! The boat looked fun, what an amazing way to travel.

  • @itsnotme07

    Totally agree that time on these things is never enough! I'd spent most summers while I was growing up at the same cottage my Dad would rent in central Maine. It was great! But it was only 2 weeks....and all 6 of us wanted more. Never got there because Dad could only take 2 weeks away from his job at a time, even though he got 6 weeks a year. Anyways, I've recently been renting a similar setup in western Maine. First time was just a week, and my sister came along...we LOVED it! But there wasn't enough time. Following years we bumped it to 2 weeks, and that was great, because of course a full weekend, but it also was never enough. Summer of 2021....my remote job and my sister not working....and cottage availability created a perfect storm. 1 full month. Of course we grabbed it. I worked from the cottage....it wasn't easy with slower internet, but it worked. Being able to take a lake swim on my lunch break....priceless! Last 2 years....medical issues have cancelled those vacations. Time away makes you apprieciate being able to be there EVEN more! Hope your new home gets finished soon! Thanks for sharing a very cool spot with us!

    That looked like a fun place to visit. Now that you’ve had a taste of the area you can come back to that area in the future when you get your own boat off the assembly line. It was a little funny when Jason was talking about the stormy weather and I looked outside of our Fifth Wheel window and the weather here was the same. We’re currently in the Elkhart RV park and are considering upgrading to a 45 foot motor home if all things align properly with trade-in’s and down payments are within our budget. Have fun and stay safe…

    I put 4 oz of ground coffee in a half gallon jar of water and store in a cool cupboard. I use a canning jar, and have a screen that fits it, so I remove the flat lid and put the canning ring over to hold the screen so I can strain as I pour. I use it in about four days, then add 2.5oz more coffee and refill with water for another four days. Not chilled, but if it sits in a hot spot it won't keep. Cold brew is so easy I only use a coffee maker for a change now and then.

    Very similar to full-time RV LIFE. There’s always something. Thank you for the video

    We charted a 50 ft catamaran from the Moorings out of Phuket. After the first night the air conditioning died on one side leaving two of the cabins without air. We were not that far from home base and fully expected them to come fix the issue or get us onto a different boat. Didn’t happen…..they came and rerouted the air from the salon to the cabins so we had air at night but the heat and humidity in the salon where we spent most of our time was almost unbearable. Our plumbing had issues so another day was spent working on that on our own. Fortunately we were experienced boaters so capable but to fly from California to Phuket to spend a week on a less than acceptable boat with the cost that we incurred was definitely not worth it. We did this the first week of November……the water looked beautiful but was solid with jellyfish so swimming and snorkeling was not easy. Fortunately we had planned five days at a resort after the sail and it was lovely and the people were wonderful. We have chartered from the Moorings in the Caribbean and it was delightful. Thailand…not so much.
