Great to see a new video from you both. It's been awhile. Langkawi looks like a beautiful scenic island. Very sad to hear the drone flew away. Maybe taken hostage by a foreign entity - lol. We've always liked watching the video's taken by it. Maybe you will get another one. Looking forward to seeing Thailand. I love the looks of the exotic limestone rock formations around there. Which parts of Thailand will you go to see while there (Phuket, Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai, Krabi, Koh Samai, Phi Phi islands, Bangkok)? On the news here lately they have been talking about a mass worldwide coral bleaching event going on. Have you noticed much of that?
Yes, we replaced the drone in January. In Thailand we toured the Phuket region and around Pha Nga Bay. More videos to follow, it's a great cruising ground. For coral, no we haven't noticed a significant bleaching. What we see a lot of is plastic in the water. Waste management practices in much of southeast Asia are not good, and most people just throw their trash in the water. A bit discouraging to see.
The old anchor was a 40kg Lewmar DTX. Stainless steel, Delta-style anchor. Looks shiny, but slippery and we felt undersized, as well it had difficulty righting itself in the deeper anchorages we were in. As a full time cruising boat we upgraded ro a 55kg Vulcan.
Well obviously Jeannine is right and proved so when Dronie flies off into the wild blue yonder. Really, Kevin you do live dangerously. J-girl your footage really shows Thailand beautifully.

Hey Eugene and kevin good to see both you. How’s sailing been?
Hi, sailing has been limited in the last few weeks....wind light and variable! But got some good diving where we are now in Komodo.
Hi just found you guys what was your old anchor.
