Sam Holmes picks up a new screecher from a sail loft in Phuket after a three-month stay, then sails roughly 22 miles toward Karachayoi and Karachaynai for diving and snorkeling.5:46 The screecher goes up on a broad reach but comes down quickly when Windy's radar shows squalls building; conditions deteriorate to 26 knots with heavy rain, forcing three reefs in the main and two in the jib before the boat reaches a mooring.7:00 A faulty clutch spring cuts Sam's finger during the screecher deployment.6:11 Pre-departure tasks include checking out of Thailand, filling a scuba tank, and a $180 grocery run for two weeks of provisions.3:25 Sam also tests recently serviced scuba gear — a replaced valve, two secondhand BCDs, and a used regulator — finding minor leaks.1:01 Deck tiles are repurified and repurposed: one set lines a poorly draining cockpit locker, another is cut into a bathroom floor grate.1:26 A friend's dinghy is transported to Langkawi using the halyard to hoist it aboard.0:30 The dive site reveals moray eels and a shipwreck with a large school of blue fish schooling over it.13:07 Clutch springs on a furler can fail and cause injury; a manual workaround is needed until the mechanism is replaced.
