Camille and Jesse sail their boat Stella from Langkawi, Malaysia, to Krabi, Thailand, during the tail end of monsoon season, island-hopping through the Andaman Sea over roughly seven days. Departure prep covers checking out of Malaysia through customs, immigration, and the harbourmaster, plus assembling crew lists, boat registration documents, and boat photos.▶ 0:55 They fuel at Talaga Harbour on the tip of Langkawi before crossing the border.▶ 3:41 Within the first few hours in Thai waters, a floating fishing net wraps around the propeller shaft; Jesse dives under the boat, cuts the net free in about ten minutes, and spins the prop clear — a quick resolution they attribute to luck and the net not reaching the keel or rudder.▶ 9:32 The route includes multiple anchorages and mooring balls, with stops at Koh Kradon and Copetra before the final push to Krabi. The last leg runs into 15–25 knot headwinds, opposing current, and swell, with the crew flying only the jib at 6.5–7 knots and timing arrival through a river channel at high tide.▶ 31:37 Check-in at Krabi requires immigration, customs, and the harbourmaster.▶ 34:00 Sailing in Asian waters during monsoon transition means frequent fishing-net hazards and tide-dependent channel entries.
