It’s true, not everything is open and back to normal on Phuket. There are some activities you can’t do …. party all night for example. However, there is still so much to do. Sailing, fishing, snorkel and dive tours. Visit temples and the Big Buddha. Dine out of delicious Thai food, swim at the beaches and so much more. #accommodation #phuket #iVisa #insurance #thingstodo

Our latest yacht trip, aboard SY Nomad, began in Thailand, took us through Malaysia, Indonesia and Australia during a time when the world became paralysed by fears of coronavirus. Gunshots, lockdowns, enforced quarantine, storm, engine trouble, damaged sails.
As we entered the museum it was like stepping back in time. We were staring at a large ketch from the 1800’s and hearing all the sounds of the daily action in the port. Seagulls squawked, bells tinkered, and sailors called back and forth to each other….. There truly is a wealth of information at this museum. I would not hesitate to recommend the South Australian Maritime Museum, it was really a lot of fun as well as very interesting. There is a lot of Port Adelaide’s, and in fact South Australia’s, history packed within these galleries!
The Sabang Marine Festival – 2016 – was extremely well organised, a lot of fun, and facilitated the healthy and happy mixing of many different cultures.Many organised activities such as cultural performances, a tour of Banda Aceh and the Tsunami museum.
Our first year cruising outside of Australian waters has included Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam. Some countries we sailed to and others we flew to; we even rode into one and caught a bus into another. This blog is a recap of our journey in 2015….. Thank you to all our followers. I hope you will continue to cruise with us in 2016, and that I will be able to carry on entertaining and informing you about the wonderful, exciting and sometimes bewildering places we visit.
