Naga 1,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,sister ship to GADIS KU !!!!Everyday, I notice the changes and everytime I had to modify the face again and again !!....makes it more and more alive plus interesting ??.
.................now its turning blue......like the sea ?? hahaha...must be the salt in my eyes yaa ??.
,,,,,,,,,,,,,"Gadis Ku" is also coming along,,,,,, numbers of crew ??....can I manage it solo !! yes/no ??............things still working out in my dreams yaa....more details to be considered seriously. Her gulley, cockpit size, engine capacity, sail plan and spares plus materials ??. Back-up with auto-pilot system, electrical configuration, mast height and c.g. plus her displacement, ballasts, water maker, radios and sola/wind generators, stores etc etc etc !! yooooooooo !!.
,,,,,lots and lots of careful planning to be done/considered prior to commitment-lah and most important how much am willing to spend ??.
,,,,,Budget for its full life cycle prior to jumping into the bandwagon on a life time of trills or trips to new adventures across the horizon.
,,,,,Dangers associated with junk sail boat types, to be registered into my pc for training plus preparation purposes ??. Cross wind tagging and hazards due to slow responses as compared to modern sails that am used to !!. Manual system as standard protocol....lots of blood, sweat and tears yoo !.
......Yoohohoo !!,,,,,,,,,,sailing a Malay Pirate Ship is not a joke !!, ,,,as for NAGA 1.... she is somewhere in Australia right now if am not wrong ??. Similarly ATTU where are you now ?? .....With a sister ship to compare notes with,,,,GADIS KU would be a safer vessel too.
,,,,,To ULUMULU thanks for the fast track sailing experience,,,,Fin do sail her and back safely, she has her own character and will/shall remain up-ride even when you close your eyes as long as your co-ordinates are set on true course. Oooo yaa !!,,,We have tested her in the worst of all storms recently and she pulled us through yaa !!. WGT team members ,,,haha !! we have done well so together......remember !!....how to forget-lah mah/bah/lah ??. yoooo. Missed you guys-lah,,,,do drop in to Kapas soonest O.K.??.
YES !!,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,"GADIS KU" ............in my dreams again and again ??.....will it just remain a dream ??.....been for the last 37 odd years or so man !!.

ReplyDeleteSaya, Gadis Ku tu belum jadi kenyataan lagi, masih impian Capt. Banyak detail2 nak dipikiaqkan. Kalau nak gak, kena masuk dalam mimpi dia lah, tapi boleh ke? .....dah tak gadis lagi..... hehe
ReplyDeleteLadies,
ReplyDeleteIndeed, GADIS KU is my final dream if come true !!
...my sailing buddies have theirs built at Pulau Duyong and are sailing all over the world right now !.
For the last 37 years, I have monitored/helped many of such construction and sailed some on sea trials etc BUT when will I start building my own ??.
,,,The funding is more than enough, time is on my side..yoooo !!
,,,Or would it just remain in my dreams only ????.
DECISION,,,decision,,,decision !!!!! why so hard ??..cos Bib does not sail and she won't follow me.......across to my sunset journey and be finally buried at sea.
i just can't leave her behind ! what should i do ??
Alah Capt. What's so difficult? If you cannot leave Bib, then just forget Gadis Ku, so simple. If you can't forget, then you are obsessed - itu dah jadi penyakit haha kena masuk pusat
ReplyDeleteMy arwah grandmother was buried at sea early 1950's while on Haj journey. May her soul be with the Solihin.
true..!!, it might just be in my dreams only. Dah tinggal kat pulau pun dekat sama belayar-kan, keliling laut plus lots of fun too hehehe. sama kena masuk pusat kot ??.
