Trip on MV Southern Comfort 21 Oct 2006

Had a smashing good time celebrating my birthday on 21 Oct 2006. Decided to do something different so since Eileena's birthday is also on the same day so came up with a suggestion to rent a boat and do BBQ and also fishing at the same time! Was glad that everyone was quite supportive of this so decided to Just Do It!

So the logistic, food and drinks are all settled. We had curry chicken, friend bee hoon, BBQ squid, BBQ stingray, hotdog and chicken wings all prepared thanks to my maid, hehehe....

For drinks we had Chivas, Red Label, Moet & Chandon and a carton of Heineken. Hope it is enough.

Well, instead of me talking non-stop the pictures are as follows:

This is an old pic of the boat we rented, it is called Southern Comfort. The captain, Melvin, did a good job in renovating the boat, Now it looks real good. If you want to find out more, go to http://www.mvsoutherncomfort.com/ for more details.

Of course for a party to be successful, we must have babes! These are the babes. (Sorry all are already "reserved")

When there are babes, there will always be hunks as well. These are the hunks!

This "hunk" came real late so he wasn't in the group photo. Furthermore, never catch any fish but trying to get credit for this seabass caught by Justin! Hehehe...

First stop was in-between Sisters' Island and St John's Island. The water there is calmer so good for BBQ. Of course, we can also do a bit of fishing. Nothing was hooked up on our rods but there were squid around and we were doing some scooping. To our surprise, scooped up a Nurse Shark. It's a baby!

BBQ was fun with good food, good company and good drinks! At about 11+, we headed to an actual fishing spot.

My first catch, a Blue Spotted Ray!

Then Justin's perseverance paid off with a small Seabass!

The catch of the nite, a 2kg Red Snapper (Ang Kuey)

Last catch of the nite, SweetLips.


We didn't catch much as the fishing time was less than 3 hours. Anyway, this trip fishing is not the main agenda so can catch already very good liao!

Justin was doin some scooping later in the nite and managed to scoop up a mini flying fish.

it was a memorable event and hope that everyone on board enjoyed themselves. Thanks to all (Colin, Eileena, Justin, Cynthia, Terence, Joshua, Wanling, Andrew and my wife) for making this happen as I have to admit the costs is not cheap for such an event so I'm grateful that everyone is sporting enough to contribute and share the costs.

It is a special birthday party for me!
