Phi Phi Don, Thailand

This evening finds us in a delightful, calm anchorage in the north west of the island of Phi Phi Don. Though it was not so for most of the day. We arrived at about noon and anchored up off a pretty beach. There was a great deal of boat traffic bringing tourists from the resorts to swim and snorkel here but by 1600H most of them were gone and we had the place mostly to ourselves.
I went for a swim on the reef and there were lots of small fish but the coral was mostly dead and the water quite murky.
We have had a good cruise up the coast stopping in Koh Muk outside the famous caves and saw a huge motoryacht (about 160feet) also called Callisto. Next day we anchored at Koh Lanta and went ashore to get some local currency and a SIM card for the phone. We had a nice lunch in one of the numerous eateries.
We had intended to go to the island of Phi Phi Le today but we took a look into the lagoon and it was a mad house of tour boats all making huge wakes so we made our way here instead.
Tomorrow we should arrive in Phuket, in Ao Chalong bay to clear into Thailand. From there, we go to YachtHaven Marina to get some work done and visit with our pals from Kilkea II
