Leaving Thailand

We left  Thailand from the Similans islands on the 12th of  December. We had a very light forecast but left anyway as we wanted to be in Sri Lanka before Xmas as I had a lot of family arriving. We motor sailed for 5 days out of the ten it took and had a very easy sail appart from 12 hours in a bit of a storm with lots of lightning that wasn't to pleasant but in all it was fine and the boat went great. We had no problems with fisherman either, that was a worry after reading many blogs from people that did have problems. All of them we saw just smiled and waved and carried on about there business.
We arrived in galle harbour on the 22nd at sunrise and waited for the navy to greet us and the formalities began. It took till just after lunch and after paying $225  and 2 bottles of rum we were done!
