A cooked breakfast of freshly made crumpets, served with bacon and honey, accompanied by fresh pineapple set the stage for another day in quarantine.
Although the sun was shining brightly again, there was very little breeze, making for a very hot, sticky day, but, thankfully by late afternoon a few scattered showers in the distance brought some relief as the breeze picked up.
Elaine spent most of her day cataloguing all our latest photographs and getting them ready to upload to our website once we have decent connectivity and then decided to start work on another video, which now only requires a few minor edits before it too will be ready to be uploaded.
Once Roy has completed the fuel polishing installations, he also reconnected our battery charger to the generator AC power, which had previously been disconnected last year when we were in Rebak Island marina, thinking we would have to leave Paw Paw and wanted the option of connecting the charger straight to shore power without having to leave our transformer on the dock. As Roy succinctly put it: “We’re de-Malaysia’ing our yacht”!
We also received word this morning that we’ve been cleared in by Immigration and the Harbour Master, but await Customs clearance, which usually takes 3-4 days. Additionally, we were informed that, due to the increase in COVID-19 cases in Thailand, the quarantine period is being extended to the original 14 days, effective 1st May 2021, but, at this time, we remain unaffected, although there is a possibility that could change in the coming days.
In the interim, we’re continuing to enjoy what Mother Nature has to offer us; beautiful sunrises and sunsets, a full moon shimmering off calm waters, peaceful starry nights, sunny days, cool breezes to keep the temperatures at bay and afternoon rain showers to wash Paw Paw down or to fill a bucket of water to aid a cleaning exercise or rinse out Roy’s sweat-drenched work clothes.
