Photos will follow as we did sail in a local regatta this weekend. We did a passage race on the Saturday and 3 round the cans races on Sunday. We managed to get a podium finish in all four races. You might be able to guess from this how many boats were in our class. We managed to break one of the crew in the bar on the Saturday night. We replaced him Sunday morning and broke his replacement later the same day!
We are not sure what we will be up to next. There are various sailing options, including delivering a boat from Tahiti to Pattaya. Outside of sailing, we still fancy visiting Cambodia, Garry is fixed up with a bit of work on boats but at the moment, we are just relaxing.
We are doing some training and it is in here, which is at our apartment.
We cannot stop meeting celebrities. There was a Bollywood film being made at the Yacht club one day. This athletic looking chap was the choreographer/director. Vikas - can you name him?
This is the star, in the shades, learning his dance steps. Vikas - do you know him?
This is the roadside cafe, where we have been having lunch (veg fried rice) regularly. The lady who runs it is a real star and has helped us with laundry, motor bike and general advice about Pattaya.
This was the first meal in our apartment. Being out of practice opening cans, Alison covered herself with tomato puree.

We have found a great local bar. Friendly staff and even friendlier cats. They have looked after us and fed us, (the staff that is, not the cats) and we may take them up with their offer of a Thai cookery lesson.As you can see, we really haven't done much since we arrived here. We will update the blog regularly, but it may not be as exciting as the past few weeks have been.

I like this make it up as you go along attitude, some of the local attitude rubbing off on you perhaps? Scooters look awesome, cant figure out the mini telescope thing though, be interested to see the mobile phone in use whilst riding eh? Weather has headed for the slightly naff style for a bit.Been golfing for the first time in two years with my better half and she beat me never mind, apart from that and the sixteen I had at the first hole (not very good considering my last handicap before I stopped playing was 7) which served as a useful handicap for my delighted opponent, brilliant fun though would have tested Tiger at some of the holes (well omly because he is is now out for 6 months with a knee injury). Enjoy chillin' Man!!
Using mobile phones whilst driving is so common place, it is virtually compulsory as demonstrated by the police man on a motor bike yesterday who was fairly wobbly as he had to get it out of his pocket before he answered it!
