Exploring a canal
Another photo of the canal
Another long-tailed boat. Note the car engine on the drive shaft that also operates as a ruder.
We took about an hour boat ride on the Choa Phraya River and canals on a long-tailed boat. Very interesting watercraft. Essentially a car engine on a stick. Lots of boat traffic on the river generating lots of chop.

All good things got to come to an end The thrills have to fade Before they come 'round again
Took Bente out for the last sail of the season today. Jackson Browne summed it up best:
All good things got to come to an end
The thrills have to fade
Before they come 'round again
I'll have a few more outing on other boats before we close out 2023. but none will top the feeling of sailing.
