I think I may want to move to this island and manage this lighthouse.
Today we reached Singapore for re-fueling. Location...
Latitude: 1 degree 10.8' N
Longitude: 103 degrees 37.2 E
We arrived about 7:00am and never went into the city. We were met by a ship carrying fuel and were anchored out in the harbor most of the day. We could see the city of Singapore through cloud, fog and smog and also islands in the area. This is a very busy shipping area, so there were many other ships around as well.
The fact that the sun was behind cloud kept the temperatures fairly cool. I went out on the top deck to take some photos after we had finished re-fueling and had started on our way and was stunned by the amount of wind there was at the bow of the ship. I thought I would be blown off the ship -- seriously! I managed to get back in with the help of some of the crew who were doing some cleaning in the area. We went around the islands at the tip of Singapore and have now started up the east coast of Thailand. We will be there day after tomorrow and have just had our cultural pre-port presentation by one of the faculty who lived there for a period of time. Our current location at 2100 ship time...
