Location: Singapore
We’ve finally reached our final destination, though our journey isn’t quite over. The day started out with calm, open seas, and by 7 am, we were approaching the busiest port in the world and were surrounded by tankers. Looking back over Argo’s stern as we approached Singapore, it looked like we were staring out onto a busy city totally comprised of ships. After clearing customs and immigration, it was time to dock. Fenders tied on, and the line ready to be thrown. We battled a rather strong current to enter the marina. With Sam in the dinghy leading us in, we entered the marina. Turning the boat around 180 degrees, we proceeded to dock stern-to. With Dan’s smooth docking and piloting skills, we were quickly throwing our lines on the dock and making them off. After a quite delicious lunch of mini pizzas, we had an OCE quiz and then set about BA. It’s been commented that each time we do BA, it goes by even more quickly than the last. Before dinner, we had an opportunity to explore this very classy marina and take showers ashore. After dinner, it was time for our OCE final. Everyone is excited to be in Singapore, and we can’t wait to explore this city tomorrow!
