Well, Here I Am

I love this island. Sun, sea, breeze in my face, no sunbathers, no noisy tourists: just a few friends and I, and nature.

We departed KL at 2am and arrived in Kuala Terengganu shortly after 8am, having stopped at Bentong and Temerloh R&Rs. We had breakfast at Kuala Ibai, and then went straight to have a look at the artificial reefs we’ll be deploying tomorow and day after.

We left Merang jetty at about 12.30pm, went to Redang’s Marine Park to take the tanks and compressor before going to Bidong. Sea was rough with waves around 2m high. But this spot is more or less Bidong’s leeside, so hardly any wave here. But that could change tonight when the wind blows from land.

I’ve pitched my tent – seaview and seafront. And now I would like to make up for the sleep I had missed last night. The only thing missing is the angel.
