I was told by my old friend Francis Olsen, the Marina Manager of Nongsa Marina and the Marina at Keppel Bay, that Nongsa Marina will undergo a major facelift this year. The old pontoons that you see in the picture will be dismantled and replaced and the break-water extended to give fuller protection during the NE monsoon months from late Nov-early March. Olsen told me about the sailfish season off Mapor in Sept & Oct. During these months, squid are abundant and attract the pelagics, including mackerel, dolphin fish and sailfish. Well, I've decided to make a trip first week of Oct onboard the Grady TigerCat. If I do catch any sailfish, it would be the first time outside Tioman & Phuket. Stay tuned for the news of that trip.
