Anyway, it is really an amazing journey. Started from you can see a lot of boats to now just merely can see the sea and sky horizon....almost no boundary. Enjoying the sea breath while having a cup of coffee or an icecreme cone after lunch is what i normally will do while staring at the horizon..seems like thingking of something but actually the feeling is so relaxing. So, hope that you will enjoy the photos.
Photo taken by helicopter when we started to sail. So nicely taken.

Looking back to the day prior to Sailaway...it was dated at 6th Jan,7am in the morning.We were ready to sail after whole night of struggling to lift the winch and to get the fresh water generator (RO) running. Spent time until 2am in the morning getting the RO package running..i was so excited getting to know that those who are fixing the hydraulic sys for the anchor winch nearly finish their work too...they finish at 4am. I was told that the ship going to sail at 6am. Feeling too tired, i went to take a nap...keeping in mind that i would like to see they lift the anchor for sailing...but a nap become a sleep. The time i woke up it was about 7am. I went to check if we were sailing and was told that we were on the way lifting the anchor..without 2nd thought, i ran towards the forward anchor winch which is located at about 300m away just to make sure i manage to catch the "special moment" ofcourse wont leave my camera behind. Find the "Special Moment" i catched.
This Anchor Took us 1 hour to lift from sea bed. So i was lucky to witness this moment. But after that we had some problem again with the main engine and have to lower the anchor again before we really sailed in the evening at about 630pm.What's important is that we work against all odd to make sure the smooth sailing.
Bridge Deck- This is the place where pilot will give command to the watcher and navigate the ship.
The 4 men Cabin on Board our Vessel. To me it is about the size of First world hotel room. I eventually change to a 2 men cabin which is much comfortable staying together with the Maintainance Superintendant.
All the cabins are equipped with Lifejackets & smoke hood with light stick for escape during emergency.
SImple Furniture in the Cabin
Some said that, toilet is one of the criteria to determine the number of star a hotel should be....so i have no choice as to show it as well...so now you have got all the information to judge how many star is the cabin...no matter what i leave the answer to you. Haha.
Photo taken at night from the bridge deck. Looking at topside process module.
Last photo for today post...the lengcai taking photo of himself.
Oya, forgot to let you know that now we are travelling to the west, after coming out from Melaka Strait. So our time is 2 hours behind Singapore time. We are now at 1130pm(11 Jan 09) and Singapore is at 130am (12 Jan09). So it is time for me to go to sleep as tomorrow gotto work from 7am till 7pm in the evening.
Cheers! Looking forward to travelling in CapeTown and Resting at home after sign off from vessel. We should reach CapeTown by 1 Feb 09 according to the speed (10knots/hr) and currently we are also sailing against the current which is slowing us down. Anyway, the current and wind should be in our favor in another 3 days time.
Night!
