What this video covers
A 39-ft sailboat, Stella, carries six people and one cat on a passage from Malaysia to Thailand during the dry season, with Camille Milligan, Jesse, and captain Shelly aboard along with Jesse's family.▶ 0:32 The first leg covers 15 nautical miles to Koh Ha, known for underwater caves, sailing at 8.5 knots in 13-knot winds.▶ 2:19 After picking up a mooring at Koh Ha, the crew finds the anchorage exposed and realises scuba tanks are required to access the caves; they leave after a rough night and sail another four hours to Koh Lanta.▶ 6:54 At Koh Lanta they anchor in 12 metres next to friends' boats.▶ 9:55 Ashore, the crew rents motorbikes to explore the island, disposes of a week's accumulated trash — explicitly carried off the boat rather than dumped overboard — and has dinner at a waterfront restaurant with Stella visible at anchor.▶ 12:52 The segment closes with a preview of checking into Thailand by sailboat, described as more involved than an airport passport stamp.▶ 16:13 Dry season conditions in Thailand produced consistently better sailing wind than the crew experienced in Malaysia.▶ 4:07
