First day photos.

Our guide, "Beard man". An excellent guide with great service and hospitality. First class!

God blessed us with excellent weather condition.
The preverse day was too windy and many boats actually return to land early.

The kid in the center is 'Beard Man''s assistant.
Paiseh... I almost hurt him real bad...

"Eddie Eddie, wake up!"

Yong was looking confident. Joshua was having a good time chatting with Beard Man.

"Lucky charm"???

Oh yes, our trip was supposed to test out this device too. This is a 'FAD' (Fish Attracting Device). Its purpose is to attract.... fish lor.... The nozzle is spraying water onto the surface to simulate baitfish presense. After two days, I kinda believe that this thing does work. We came into contact with 20 sails for two days and only 8 were landed dued to inexperience. We sighted many many others within range too...
