Our boat sank!

We received word on Wednesday that the boat we took to the Similan Islands, which is also the one we were supposed to take for the Andaman Islands, had sank!

The boat that 'blindly' struck some rocks.




The Blindstrike is a charter boat based in Phuket, Thailand. Apparently, the boat was out on a fishing trip at the Similan Islands when it struck some shallow rocks, and the damage to the hull was enough to sink the ship.

The first thought that entered my mind was... Heng ah! I mean, we were there just a couple of weeks ago, and it could have happened to us! *Shudder*  When I bought travel insurance for the trip, it was to guard against the possible scenario of missing or damaged luggage more than anything else! So people, remember to purchase travel insurance when you go fishing to protect yourselves! *Touches wood*
