JEREJAK ANCHORAGE, PENANG, MALAYSIA 05'18N 100'18E OK, so I realize it's been a while since any postings but we truely have been busy and for those of you who pay attention to our latitude and longitude you'll see that we have moved a fair way south. Back here in Malaysia we are able to hook up with the internet on the boat and I hope to keep the posts a bit more current. These photos are all from Thailand during our trip around Phang Nga Bay. We enjoyed a number of anchorages there and spent lots of time in our kayak taking slow trips around the islands and going through tunnels in the limestone walls linking to inland lagoons called "hongs".
The entire Phang Nga Bay is dotted with 100's of these islands, both small and large.
Above is a view of the anchorage are of Phi Phi island.
The entrance to the "hong" on Koh Phanak. The tunnel is about 50 yards long and DARK. We went in with our kayak but due to the tide being a little to high were unable to actually exit into the "hong"
The other kayaks you see are from tour companies that visit the area daily.
These Junks are run by various tour operators.
A view of one of the many islands as we approach.
This is an interior view of the "hong" on Koh Muk called the Emerald Cave. The entry tunnel was about 80 yards long. We managed in our kayak. The tour operators put lifejackets on their customers and along with a guide they floated in.
A happy Kathy after exiting a tunnel.
A view of the Emerald Cave "hong"
This "hong" at the end of Koh Kudu Yai could almost have been accessed on Po o'ino Roa.
Throughout these island we were approached by local fishermen who wished to sell or trade their catch. These two enjoyed a cold beer.
Another "hong" entrance.
"Our House" sitting at anchor!
This "hong" had several entrances some small and others large.
The happy travelers as we make our way along.
