The Summerhaven 10.65 at sunset in Phang Nga Bay |
|
The Summerhaven 10.65 Ceberus has arrived in Ao Yon! We HAD to take her for a sail in Phang Nga Bay and we loved it! We took a lot of photos for you all to see when you click here
We have 2 more Summerhavens 10.65 on offer. Ceberus sister Chimera and the same but open deck, Charro. They all can have 6 people sleeping on board and more people for luxurious day cruises or island hopping. Good for racing in the regattas too!
**We still have a second Firefly available for the upcoming December Kings Cup and all 2009 Asian regattas!! Netherlands
It was very good to be in the Netherlands, meeting old friends, promoting Thailand as a top sailing destination, racing the Flevo Race, visiting family (not necessarily in this order), eating food we can’t get here and enjoying Amsterdam. But Phuket is our home and our dog Doppie wacked his tail nearly off when we came back, all in all 2,5 weeks of positive emotions.
Most asked question in the Netherlands: ‘Are there pirates in Thailand?” Believe us dearly, No there is absolutely no piracy in Thailand and the Andaman Sea, zero zilch. The coastal people have a good life and they have no need to be criminals, which is the footprint of piracy. On sea you only meet fisherman offering you to buy their fish…
Flevo Race
We sailed on a J-120 from Donald en Carolien. There were over 100 entries in many classes, from high tech mono hulls, to traditional trading and fishing boats. The start was from Enkhuizen on the Northern part of the IJsselmeer, a huge inland sea, where some years ago, in the 17th century, English and Dutch teams sailed for the Cannon Ball trophy. All in all three days of good racing! A bit cold but good fun! Click here to see the photos Back to work Two days after arrival we left with Robert and his friend Weng on the Frog for a fantastic 3 day charter into Pang Nga Bay, all four of us were in awe about the unlimited visibility, mountains 80 miles away were clearly visible. We sailed through Pang Nga Bay on its best. In September! Robert a keen regatta sailor and his colleague Weng from Singapore wanted to see how a Firefly operates in the cruising mode, and after 3 days they was quite impressed. All weather conditions we encountered, blue sky, a nice cool overcast and a typical September blast. All highly entertaining stories at our traditional ‘finish beer’.
** A long time Phuket Character, builder of most marine websites on Phuket and Rolien’s personal website teacher, Andrew Morton or ‘Android Humanoid’ has passed away suddenly on Thursday the 18th of September. We will miss him!
