On Sunday, we set sail with
Captain Mark for a speedboat tour of the islands off of the east coast of Phuket. We stopped for swimming and snorkeling, and visited the Phi Phi Islands and Maya Beach (the setting for the movie The Beach). Aside from getting briefly trapped in the boat's head and later having an old Indian vegetarian woman make gagging noises at me when I dared to eat chicken at her table, it was a spectacular day.
