What this video covers
James anchors Triteia overnight at James Bond Island (Khao Phing Kan) in Thailand's Phang Nga Bay and rows over by dinghy at sunrise to beat the tour-boat crowds, which he estimates at 300 visitors by noon.▶ 0:32 He then moves two miles to Koh Hong, where a local guide named Anas paddles him by kayak through a tidal sea cave into an open-air limestone lagoon — entry requires low tide, and at 2-meter high tide the cave ceiling drops low enough that paddlers must lie flat.▶ 11:34 The anchorage at Koh Hong has mooring balls used by charter catamarans but quiets down at night.▶ 11:38 James then pushes south to Naya Harn, his final Thai anchorage, to prepare Triteia for an Indian Ocean crossing.▶ 25:00 Pre-departure tasks include inventorying and culling rusted cans (citing suspected botulism deaths in the Mozambique Channel), filling the main water tank from jerry jugs, completing reefing-point ties for new sails, and filing a float plan.▶ 23:50 He reconfigures his Iridium Go as the primary offshore communications and weather-download tool, plans to keep Starlink off except for emergencies, and will carry 35 gallons of diesel while expecting several days of calm on departure.▶ 27:32
