,,,,,,,,,,,yaa, just keeping an eye !!
Naga 1,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,sister ship to GADIS KU !!!!
.............Pretty hard to capture and paint a 'changing face' by the day !!...indeed, after losing 20 kgs within 8 months does make it possible-lah.....and its not funny yaa. (good thing about it, is that am able to eat as much dark chocolate as i so desire nowadays too!! hahaha)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 !!.
,,,,a man has to do what a man has to do !! right ?.......... Ameen.
