Last minute SMS to wives before departure The sunsets are too beautiful to ignore. This passing giant seagoing vessel is a reminder that we were close to one of the busiest shipping lanes in the world.
After discovering the joy of deep-sea fishing in 1998 (albeit after being "dared" into it by friends at UPD), nothing else compares. If your objective is to just leave the problems at work behind you, and really and truly enjoy a relaxing yet productive weekend (sea tides and current permitting, of course) on a fishing boat with some close die-hard fishing friends.
Zul reeling in his first catch - a Gerut-gerut, while Hamdan preferred to be our Host during the trip. Our kitchen may look crude and untrustworthy, but I assure you that the most delicious meals came forth from the simple one-stove burner, with Chef Man in charge.
Me and my 3 Kg Kurau, my second catch after the 2 Kg Jenahak. Man (our tour leader-cum-cook, showing off my 2nd Kurau. The 3rd Kurau on the far right was brought in by Abby (the left foot and slipper belongs to the other Zul)
They said that I was sea-sick! Actually I was simply nursing a splitting headache and a rumbling belly (probably from the food? Hehehe)
The moment of joyful bliss... landing my first giant-sized Grouper (Kerapu Bunga). The weighing scale tipped at 11.35 Kg. Hehehehe.. how nice to be able to brag to the others that didn't land any ... double hahahaha
Well, what more can I say. I think the pics tell them all. So, salespeople, if you're burned out at work, come on a fishing trip. A sure cure, and you'll feel extra-rejuvenated when you come back to the office, even though you come back empty-handed. Just being out there is enough.... trust me!
