Sailing in South East Asia is akin to cruising in paradise :- the variety in cultures, in languages, in food, in flora and fauna, in the seasons, in the affordable cost of cruising.
Not to mention :- The islands - white sand beaches - blue skies - good marinas at destinations - access to yacht supplies - inexpensive labour for haul out work - good carpenters - excellent paint jobs.
