In the water and with engine fixed by a very helpful Chinese man who happened to let us have the required part from a new engine he had in stock, once we confirmed order and payment for a replacement to be sent from the UK, it was goodbye Boat Lagoon. Not cheap but a good place to leave the boat for 2 years, particularly after a hurried layup. We then joined Kel and Diane for a few delightful days cruising in company in a wonderful Thailand quite restored by the absence of tourists during the Covid period and with still mercifully few compared with pre-Covid times.

Alcedo was loaded onto the Humbergracht on the 31 January, looking very small, Yellow Brick switched on so we could track her progress to Turkey.

We said goodbye to Kel and Diane after lunch and took a taxi to Phuket, ready to fly home on the following day.
