Trip #15 (#35)Weather: Cloudy after a brief drizzle
Waters: Slightly choppy on the way out, but flat where we anchored, north of the SAF firing range
On board: C, A, J1, J2, R, Pudding and Grandma!
Finally, Grandma said yes.
We have been asking her to join us on the boat for a year or more, and we think she had always thought that we had to swim out to the boat or something, and she isn't fond of the water or swimming. We promised her that she would board the boat from the dock and no swimming was involved.

It was Pudding's second boat outing and he seemed a lot calmer this time. He had spent most of the last boat ride taking refuge in J1 and J2's laps, shivering. (See post here.) This time, he switched between being on the seat with Grandma and A, or lying at Captain C's feet. He happily chewed cubes of ice on deck and often raised his head to take in the salty air. His tail: definitely not between his legs.

Now to make him jump into the water from the swim platform. Hahaha. Baby steps, baby steps.
The weather had threatened to tank this outing. It was drizzling all the way to the marina, but by the time we got there, it had stopped, but it stayed cloudy. We had to top up the tank for the boat, so that delayed our start a bit.
After we anchored though, it was all good. The waters north of the SAF firing range were an emerald green, clean and flat. We just kicked back and relaxed, glad that this was a long weekend, courtesy of the Hari Raya public holiday.

| Our kind of afternoon, away from the madding crowds. |
J1 needed his nap, either because he might have been a little seasick (again) or because. So the air-conditioning below deck was turned on and he retired. Pudding followed him.

| Buddies. |
