Floating north of the live firing area

Date: Sept 30, 2017 
Trip #10 (#30)
Weather: Toggled between sunny and cloudy 
Waters: Flat 
On board: C, A, J1, J2 and R 

We had a late start because everyone got going late this lazy Saturday. By 2pm, however, we were anchored in flat waters north of Johor's Puteri Cove, north of the Singapore Armed Forces' live-firing area. Never mind if no live firing was going on, but to drop anchor anywhere off the live-firing area is to ask for the Police Coast Guard to come by to tell you via a loud hailer to move off.  

We had three hours there, just chilling our usual way - with wine and beer, music and lamb rolls from Baker & Cook.  These waters to the west of Singapore were so flat that even J1 didn't have major problems with nausea today. 


This is what Donald Trump is good for on our boating trips
- opening beer bottles. A gift from a friend before Trump
won the White House. It was a gag then, but with all his bumbling
since January 2017, it doesn't seem as funny any more. 

This wasn't a posed shot, despite how it looks. They all refuse
 to pose for A's camera, so she has to grab whatever
lucky moment comes along.

We had to leave our anchoring spot before we
really wanted to. We brought Little Wanderer 2
back to the marina because A had a dinner to go to.
Lovely evening light, as is typical of sunsets at the marina.
