The casually doing 75 to 80mph in a mahogany canoe with a diesel outboard strapped to it ! I travelled in Thailand in 1989 coming back from the UK. In those days Ko Samui was a sleepy little island very few people went to. We caught a longtail out across the bay from the mainland to the island. Great fun. In those days they were powered by Nissan 4 or 6 cylinder SD diesels. I don't think we had any safety gear apart from jandals... We were in Koh Samui in September 89. Asked my lady to marry me there.

And - I hope he wasn't constantly checking behind him for people overtaking.... Running over-fuelled , I’m guessing he’s monitoring the colour of the smoke for early warning signs of impending turbo or piston meltdown . aardvarkash10 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Black smoke is good. White smoke is bad. harrytom 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I spent a week there in the late 70s it was a back packer spot with beach hut accommodation. I spent as much money as I could but at the end of a week it was still less than $20. harrytom 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
