CRUISE TO NOWHERE (19 JULY 2009)

Daddy had spent the last one year dreaming, conceptualising, designing and building an all aluminium fishing powerboat.

When OOPSII The Boat was finally on water, Captain Daddy welcomed us on board her maiden voyage. Brand new lifevests were handed out by Captain Daddy, and bags of munchies were handed out by First Mate Mommy. After Captain Daddy's safety briefing, we were off to explore the smelly waters near Punggol Marina!

Seasickness didn't seem to feature in anyone's mind. Those nasty memories of being sick on board the whale watching cruise in the Gold Coast were kept out of Grandma Nancy's head, as she happily competed with Ah Ma on finishing a bag of Twisties.

We saw several kelongs in the water during our cruise, and Captain Daddy made a brief stop on Seletar Island for us to check out the beach (or rather, lack thereof). The narrow strip of brown sand was riddled with trash and populated by sandflies. Double yucks! We stayed long enough for a group shot before heading back.


Everyone had full confidence in Captain Daddy's boating skills, and he didn't disappoint us. It was a smooth ride from start to finish. :)
