Another day out west

Date: Nov 4, 2017 
Trip #11 (#31)
Weather: Scorchingly hot
Waters: Relatively choppy for these waters out west 
On board: C, A, J1, J2 and R  
New gear on board: Three iPhone X (yes, we are quick off the mark), and binoculars

We had a fairly late start out, and we wanted to "get there fast and then take it slow", right? We headed towards the Second Link and the waters north of the live firing area, a mere 20-minute journey, versus taking 45 minutes to Pulau Hantu. 

The Coast Guard were there most of the time, slipping into and out of view, just to be sure we weren't in prohibited waters just off the military training area. 

The waters were clean and seemingly clear of the nasty foam, but nobody (other than R) entered it (see pic below).

Doing it our way. Food, drink, music. 

A tried out her new binoculars. A Brahminy kite obligingly appeared.

Bird-watching.

C working the windlass when we decided it was time to leave.
