Battling the sea.

This sailing trip last sat can be best described as a battle with the sea and weather.
The conditions r quite rough tt dae, like veri gusty but inconsistent winds, choppy waves and dark ominous skies. Guess this is the worst i've ever seen, but i guess even more demanding conditions will arrive wif the oncoming monsoon season.
Anyway, the veri strong winds was so freakin powerful tt i cld almost feel my laser flying.
We took slightly less than 1 hr to reach the halfway point of Pulau Punggol in run conditions.
The return trip also took 1 hr onli, in close conditions, in spite of the choppy waves formed by the impending storm.

Fighting the strong winds n waves were not easy. We were quite shagged after the 2 hr trip already. Having to keep adjusting our position ensured tt I got sore bottoms and serious muscle aches everywhere. But it was realli worth the effort, experiencing the exhilarating speed as the laser cuts thru the waves. So when is the next sailing trip?
