The first of us have arrived!  The Royal Varuna is fantastic, although getting the lay of the club’s customs has been interesting to say the least.

 As I write, the crane is moving into position to offload the first two containers.  All but ours  has made it to the Pattaya area, somewhat ironic as we’re here doing the offloading.  Oh, well.  2:00am tomorrow, and our boats will be here.

The club is an oasis from the red-hot testosterone fueled atmosphere that is Pattaya.  “Can there be any more bars on a street?”was the typical comment yesterday as we cruised through town running errands.  Eye opening, to say the least.

 Have to run to offload right now – more later from Maddy, Gregg, Mike and Noah.
