What this video covers
Camille Milligan and Jesse depart Mang Bay, a fishing-village anchorage in northern Thailand with no other sailboats, and sail 22 nautical miles south toward Railay and Krabi on their 39-foot Genoa Sonodysi, Stella.▶ 1:44 Wind is absent at departure, then builds to 10–13 knots, allowing an hour and a half of close-reaching between 60 and 70 degrees on a tight reach before dying as they enter the bay.▶ 8:08 Camille walks through Stella's layout: three berths, a single head-shower combo, nav desk, gimballed oven, and a new large fridge added for offshore crossings.▶ 3:21 On arrival at the anchorage, roughly a dozen Thai officials board a nearby catamaran and work through the anchorage checking passports, port clearance papers, and check-in and check-out documentation.▶ 10:55 Camille and Jesse pass the inspection without issue; other boats that lacked proper paperwork received 5,000 baht fines.▶ 12:31 After anchoring, they mount an outboard on the tender and dinghy to the island.▶ 13:10 The crew is preparing for a four-day coastal passage south to Malaysia for a haulout.▶ 14:24
