"Stuck" in Satun

Hello friends, I'm writing to you from the small town of Satun, near the border with Malaysia. I took 2 ferries today to get here. When I arrived, I found out I can't get to Ko Lipe, my island destination, till tomorrow morning at 10:30 (only one ferry per day). Craps. So, I'm making fun of myself for feeling "stuck" in Satun. I finally changed my attitude and reminded myself it's sunny and beautiful, I'm one of possibly 3 foreigners in town and I finally have a little time to.... practice yoga!
So, I practiced this afternoon. I can't say it was my most disciplined practice ever. For those of you who are unaware, yoga affords the opportunity to meticulously study one's own feet and then pick at said feet when you're supposed to be meditating. I hadn't practiced in a while and my feet were like a whole new world to me this afternoon. I made it through the whole practice, somehow, but, again, I've done better.
Tomorrow, I head to Ko Lipe, backpacker beach, marine park, diving center! Yay. I think I'm ready for some beach time. I even bought a sarong in Malaysia in anticipation.
I'm planning to island hop as I make my way up the coast. Apparently the Similan Islands are one of the world's top 10 diving destinations. You can't stay on the islands, but I've decided to splurge on a live-aboard dive boat for either 4 or 6 days. The boat goes to the islands and you do 4 dives a day at all the top dive sites. You also do night dives. It looks unbelievable.
Not much else to report, other than I'm enjoying a little taste of solitude and a little time to hear my own thoughts.
English was the lingua franca between ethnic groups in Malaysia, which made it really easy to get around. Not much is in English where I am, which is even harder when the script is not Romanized either...
Hugs!
