Koh Samui Thailand

Checked out of Thailand today, ready to leave early Sunday for Terengganu, Malaysia.

Harbour Master wanted 1000Bhat, no receipt. When pushed it was for an "engineer", naturally no engineer had seen us so he didn't get his 1000Bhat. Customs was sweet and so was Immigration, although took a while as the final signature was on condition that he showed me his house plans on the computer :-)

Islander 55 Rudder lashings

We needed to repair the SB rudder as it had developed a crack on the leading edge.

I was a little apprehensive. But as the images show is a relatively straight forward job to reinstall.
The rudder needs to be hung up, loosely with the lashings.
Then braced and centered.
The gap at the bottom is slightly oversized.
Start at the top and work down.

Hi Hans
Currently at Pangkor Island, Lumut, Malaysia.
Just finished a contract and busy getting Tiare ready for next adventure
Left to do is haul out for new anti foul, build a tender with the boys, finish the new kitchen and build a fridge.
Soo we hope to be either on our way up to where you are mid to late October (before the wind changes) or we'll stay here another season.
The marina owner here has organised four I beams and will use them to slip us on his SeaLift.
Would be great to meet up with you.
Private email address? I have few questions for you.
Warmest regards
Daniel.
