This morning Azmi and I decided to take advantage of the unexpected lull on Sunday from our rain forest kayaking trips to explore the coastline from Kg. Buntal to Damai. However our misjudging of the tide levels left us with no suitable put-in as the receding tide has left behind nothing but large expanse of mudflats - so we decided to proceed to Damai Beach Resort to put in from the beach there instead.
After getting permission from the duty manager there (thanks Christina!) we unloaded our kayak with our gears and portage the 300 meters or more distance from our van to the beach. Phew.
One with the sky and water - what separates us? 6th April 2008
We paddled from the beach at Telok Bandung and when we reached Tanjung Sipang where there is a light beacon, we decided to turn back as the sea wa getting choppy with the wind picking up. It reminded me too much of our ‘night kayaking’ at Lake Toba for comfort! We covered a distance of approximately 15km in the round trip and I took a number of photos along the way but unfortunately my old Pentax Optio 43WR had some trouble writing to my new Kingston 4GB SD card and I manage to recover only a few of the shots. The above is the most interesting photo from the lot. Pity. But it’s a good thing that new stuff can still be written into and read by old brains. Whatever. Have a productive week ahead.
