Floating off Sarimbun

Date: Aug 12, 2017
Trip #8 (#28)
Weather: Overcast, drizzly occasionally 
Waters: Flat 
On board: C, A, J2 and R 
New gear on board: Break-proof wine glasses, Thirsty Hippo for below-deck

The weather wasn't in our favour, as much as we were wishing otherwise, on this, our first outing in nearly two months. It was a grey day at home, but we pressed westward towards Raffles Marina all the same. It rained on the way there, but stopped when we got to the marina. 

The skies out east looked grey, so we headed west, towards Puteri Cove. It was one of those live-firing Saturdays in the SAF area, so we headed beyond the military zone - the Police Coast Guard would have shooed us away if we lingered anyway. We dropped anchor just north of the Sarimbun buoy. Two other pleasure craft were nearby. 

There, we stayed for the next couple of hours. It was quiet, the waters were flat. We just chilled.
