What this video covers

A cruising couple explores the floating village of Ko Panyi, Thailand, before returning to Yacht Haven Marina and Chalong Pier for boat maintenance and provisioning. The crew visits the stilt-built village by dinghy, noting its history as a Javanese fishing settlement and its current reliance on tourism. Following the excursion, the vessel transits to Yacht Haven Marina to retrieve a borrowed sewing kit and purchase supplies at Home Pro. Maintenance tasks performed at Chalong Pier include resealing leaking windows with SikaFlex, replacing a shower hose in the sugar scoop, and cleaning stainless steel fixtures with Autosol. Rolly Tasker visits the boat to measure for a new sail pack. The crew also hikes the Tonsai Waterfall Nature Trail and explores local caves. Routine boat chores, including trash disposal and deep cleaning, occupy the remainder of the stay in the region.
