Just a quick update as we are sitting at anchor here in ban Khan, I think, and we have a slow 4g data connection.
we left the Yacht Haven late yesterday morning, had a peaceful overnight anchor stop near port chalong, then onto here today. Tomorrow we head further north to a little inlet at Ban Thap Lamu, near the Burmese, Myanmar border for an overnight stop before going west out to the similan islands , where we will stop for a couple of days. This is supposed to be a great spot for snorkelling, and we both just bought new snorkels to try.

Heading North!?! Fair winds.
BTW-what nav program are you using again on your iPad?
Hi Bruce, I’m using the Navionics HD app for the iPad, I also have a Garmin plotter at the helm with older charts, but good enough for most things.
I have had the iPad run out of power and crash on me at just the wrong time, so I’m not sure tablets are ready to replace Dedicated nav gear just yet. I have openCPN on the MacBook, which I will be making more use of on longer passages.
Paul, I use iNavX. I have my iPad at the helm in a cradle, plugged into a USB charger. I’ve had no problem. Not too sure where I’ll land in the future, but for now, it works great on Lake Superior.
Safe travels to you two.
