On a recent trip to Cairns we took a day trip on 7 Nov 2013 to Michaelmas Cay in the Great Barrier Reef
Sunday Sept 15 started out like any other Sunday, except for 8 of us who went out for a pelagic in the straits.
On July 28th we set out on another pelagic expedition, this one kindly sponsored by NParks as part of the comprehensive marine biodiversity survey.
Nine of us met on Saturday, 4 May 2013 for yet another pelagic outing in the Singapore Straits, entering our third year with around 20 trips. It seemed like a long time ago as our last outing was October 2012.
On Saturday, Sept 22, Danny, Kok Hui and I drove up to Malaysia to meet up with Ang to survey the paddyfields at Sungai Rambai, also known as Batu Gajah or Merlimau, two towns in the area.
Meeting on October 13 at 6:00 am at One Degree North marina we set out promptly reaching Sisters Islands at 6:15 am. We were the first to clear immigration, and were off to a good, but hazy start.
Another in the series of NParks sponsored surveys of the Straits of Singapore got underway shortly after 6:00am on Saturday, September 15th. The dawn was good and it would stay rainless the entire day, but rather hazy; and it grew quite hot and humid as there was almost no breeze. At times the sea was glassy smooth.
Meeting at 6:00 am at One Degree North yacht club on Sentosa, we began a self funded outing to check out the spring migration.
At 5 am on Friday, Nov 25, 2011, Danny, Jia Sheng and I set off for a three day, two night trip to Parit Jawa and the surrounding rice paddies.
