Boating Adventure !

Wohoo ! Finally the long awaited boating. The four of us (Zhiyi, myself, Yuxiang & Yukuan) We rented the Diana class boat from SAF yatch club Sembawang. Excited excited ! 4 hours rental for $180, we find it's rather cheap. No Cabin , no toilet, still very ok. We bring FOOD and water playing Tools out for our SEA adventure ! and the boys love the water playing session, the makan session and the bumpy boat ride !
After two rounds of self-trial, Zhiyi decided to go for the BIG ONE. We charter the boat which could take up to 11 pax and comes with a toilet on Chen mama's birthday - 15 July (smiles). so we kinda "forced" them to go boating with us. ke ke ke and you bet they enjoyed the sun, water, and breeze. This time we set off from Change Yatch club and the skipper, Mr Lawrence brought us to Lazarus Island (refer to map for location).

After an hour ride, here we are...Lazarus Island and ...we were not alone. There were quite a number of private boats (much bigger ones) there too.
The water is so clear that ZHiyi, Jiewen and I decided to take a swim from the boat to the shore and back again ! The boys also wanted to swim too so after some precautionary measures, they had their 1st swim in OPEN WATERS !
This photo was taken before the boys had their swim. They were looking at another group of Ang Mos. Their boat had many many children Just a little bigger than them jumping into the water from their boat, they also had banana boat, imagine 5 little kids sitting on the boat. haha
We also went to the other side of the island where we "parked" the boat and went onshore ! YuKuan had another swim while Yuxiang played the sand.
And dad gave mum a bday present - a coconut from the island ! keke too bad he dont want to pose in front of the camera with that coconut he plucked. SO we had Yuxiang & Wendy posing instead.
Time to go back. Look at the sun set, nice. Yuxiang posing with papa and mama. and we have the bride-to-be wrapping herself with towel. And we return to yatch club, the boys had their another 1st time at the pool with slide too.
That time, they tasted salt water and pool water. It made them a little unwell but everyone had an enjoyable experience. Too bad, Xueyan dont feel too comfortable taking boat ride now that she's still in the early stage of her pregnancy, so we only meet Bro & her for dinner after our boat adventure.
