What this video covers

Camille, Jesse, and captain Shelly cruise Stella, a 39-foot sailboat, through the karst island chains of Thailand's Phang Nga Bay area — the stretch locals compare to Vietnam — during high season with Camille's parents aboard.▶ 0:35 The primary destinations are the hongs (tidal sea caves that open into hidden interior lagoons), James Bond Island, Koh Hong, and Koh Ha.▶ 1:53 At the first anchorage, in 10 metres of water, they drop 50 metres of chain at a 5:1 scope ratio; the same ratio applies at a second anchorage among limestone formations with no other boats.▶ 3:49 Timing matters: the hongs are only passable by tender at low tide, when the cave ceilings clear by inches.▶ 5:23 The crew explores the interiors by tender, navigating through passages tight enough to scrape overhead rock, then continues through a narrow channel bisecting Koh Ha.▶ 4:41 The passage runs under headwinds the entire way, so the boat motors rather than sails.▶ 10:27 After two to three days in the island group, the plan is to return towards Krabi, check out of Thailand, and head back down to Malaysia.▶ 10:27 A separate episode on the Thailand sailboat check-in and check-out process is noted as forthcoming.▶ 15:50
