On Friday night 7th August 2008, the fishing team stopped by the coral patch approximately 700m from the shore on the voyage to the floating hotel. We left the jetty at 6:45 pm and reached the location approximately 7:00 pm. Therefore, we had to conduct the maghrib prayer on the boat. Everybody was given a bottle of mineral water for ablution. Tuan Harmadi had his first catch (junior barracuda) after the prayer. Approximately at 8:30 pm, the wind from the East started to blow inland and created unpleasant waves. Two of the members had minor sea sick and we had to call off the fishing because of the rough sea and continue the journey to the floating hotel. The fishing rally continued at the hotel.
Remember Albert Einstein said: A ship is always safe at the shore but it is NOT what it is built for.
