11 Dec 2010 - The 'Return'


I'm hitting the SG waters again after 'MIA' for more than 2 months.










And this is possible after all the hard work put in by our skippers and seamen - Dave, Chee Wai and Boon San who have done a fantastic job in:
1) Repairing the anchor windlass
2) Cleaning up the bilage pump area
3) Stunning paint job on the window sills
4) ....the list goes on and on...
I would also like to acknowledge the good efforts from Preston and Francis who have contributed to the 'Spa' job for North Star.

Captain - 2LT Dave Ang
Crew: Francis, Edwin, Preston & Denise, James
Area of Ops - Ubin and Tekong
Weather - Fair, sunny and windy















We also tested our 'new open air toilet' on North Star and tester Preston was very very pleased...










We were all zero-fighters at the first spot...hence Francis decided to reveal his secret spots and make our way there...
He said many many at low tide and he was the first to get a silver fin Ah Seng - CnR.




Edwin followed with a 2nd - a yellow fin Ah Seng and we decided to keep that for our reliable maintenance staff at MCC.












The secret spot was full of booby traps and we lost heavily - prawns, weights and leaders...And the anchor was almost a casualty too!!!


Edwin ended up as the overall winner with a good Jack.










There were many misses too, esp. so for Francis.
Although the catch is poor, but nice company and catch up with friends on North Star.
Another fun day!
