LAKSA MANA? DAING

Laksa Mana Daing looking at the ship bow to ensure the ship is steered safely and avoided collusion with floating iceberg. He wishes to be the "Dina Star" hero!!!

AIR FILTER

See his "janggut". He has collected plenty of dust from the air. I don't know how much that goes into his nose and finally to his lung. It won't stop him from fishing!!!

KERAPU MERAH ?

This is not a gold fish lahhh!!! "Kerapu Merah lah"

FISHING LOVERS

This floating resort provides beach bench for fishing lovers.

DON'T MISS THE BOAT

He is sleepy either because of eating too much "mutton pulau" or fishing till late night !!! I hope he is happy with this fishing trip. The guy with the red shirt arrived from Malaysia on 3rd July and without hesitation joining us two hours after check in to the shore hotel. Fishing at the Red Sea is his main hobby.

ALWAYS BRING BACK GOOD MEMORIES

The Malay proverb says "Never refuse provision given by Allah". The host never let us go back with empty stomach or without special meal. These two gentlemen are having "Mutton Pulau" before leaving the floating hotel for Friday prayer. Indeed, they go back to shore with good memories.

DINNER ON THE FLOATING HOTEL

It is nice to see Babuji back to the floating hotel. We have a lot of things to catch up and hear from him. We go to sleep at night with our stomach full of "capati". We never refuse others kindness. Alhamdulillah and Allah Karim.

FISHING TRIP - 4TH JULY, 08

During morning of 4th July, 08, strong wind blows from South towards North direction and carry along dust particles from nearby bare land or desert. The dust suspends in the air for many hours before the easterly wind bring it to inland in late afternoon. Bad air quality and visibility do not deter my friends from fishing. Their hair turns into brown color. The dust blocks the sunlight and heat and make the day a little pleasant but humid. Alhamdulillah, we are blessed with some small fishes and receive several large fishes from the Dina Star chief officer too. Later in the evening, we cook sweat and sour and soy sauce fish for dinner. It is not easy to live by our home standard in this part of the world!!!
