In the South Western part of Singapore you will see Jarong Island and we are close to the light marked on the chart. On the chart if you zoom in to the north of Jurong Island you will see a depth mark of 10 (meters), we will be tying up on the 1 side of that.
We maybe getting a berth later today but nothing is confirmed.
It has been gratifying to know that few people have followed the passage and my various ramblings and reminiscences about some of my life at sea. To be honest I have barely scratched the surface, however what it has done is given me several ideas for some fictional short stories drawing on my experiences and weaving them into the tale.
I will keep my blog site running as a journal and update regularly as I go along with various musings and rantings.
I will make one more post this thread once we have made fast and the voyage is complete.
The music today is two tracks from this genius.

Hi Bentley.
ReplyDeleteI read your postings on TotalFrance with enjoyment and watching the progress on your renovation. So glad you have started this blog as well.
Makes for interesting light-hearted reading. Though I suspect there may be some elsewhere who won't be following me!!!!
Keep it up, it's great.
