Poems was very close we woke up late, rush was nowhere to go. We went to breakfast at the beachfront restaurant at the beginning of the ninth. There is already gathered almost all the resort vacationers. Suitcases and backpacks piled in a heap in the corner, waiting for their owners. We were told that the departure will take about nine o'clock, and not at noon, it was decided the day before. No one really knew when the next shuttle. How do we "evacuated" to order breakfast, we hurried to our bungalow to collect things. I folded in the bag house keys, plane tickets, documents and money. I hope this is the safest place. Then we went to a restaurant, taking with him a thing. We quietly and with an appetite for breakfast, and waited in the shade of further developments. People began to slowly gather on the beach to wait for the ship and the first to occupy the best seats. A small plane with a gray propeller to circle the island. Maybe he's an army, and monitors the security of our departure from the island? Risk of shock waves and high surf was still high. Finally, there was a big ship and anchored near the shore. Passengers are transported on a ship in long boats. We have long observed that "passenger traffic", and sailed among the latter. Once in the boat, Andy expressed serious doubts whether we have done, taking advantage of this transport, as in the air panic and the boat was full of people. We decided nevertheless to continue the path, because no sense to return to the island did not exist. It was impossible to hesitate; had to quickly climb the ladder to the ship. On the luggage taken care of. Looking at all this fuss, I felt fear. Until my turn came up, I could not stop repeating to myself: "Take fast hold of the ladder, step by step and take on board." The boat rocked heavily on the waves. Fortunately, nobody was hurt, and all made it safely to the deck of a large ship, or rather, the gunboat naval police. We got a place in the bow next to the cannon. People were sitting opposite each other. There have been both Western tourists and Thai youth. Europeans are thought to have been calm and relaxed. Thais, on the contrary, looked scared. They sat quietly in life jackets, shielding face with his hands. None of them wanted to show his fear. We struggled to get the pleasure of this walk. Zanemeli our feet on hard benches, but in general everything was fine. I thought that this day, December 27, 2004, I was born again! We were lucky, our Koh Lipe is not subjected to shock the tsunami, despite the fact that he is on the west coast of Thailand. Floating remains devastated fishing village on our way we met the wreckage of a fishermen's huts, destroyed by the tsunami. We then watched news channel "CNN En, where showed video footage taken in the affected areas. It was painful to look at the results of this debacle. We were treated to fresh juices we arrived at Buck pair. On the shore was a lot of people with cameras that greeted passengers. They experienced great joy and relief, because the continent did not really know the consequences of the tsunami on Ko Lipe. We were treated to freshly squeezed juice, which was very handy after a hot ride. We were treated like heroes upon returning home from a difficult campaign and a miracle survivor. Marine Police vessel Coast Guard completed its work, and the ship immediately set sail. We stayed two more weeks of vacation. Actually, we were going to hold them on the west coast of Thailand, but now it has become impossible.
