I love being out at sea, especially when it rains & the wind is blowing. I would obviously seek a sheltered bay to anchor and enjoy the rain. The air is also freshest after the rain and you could almost smell the ozone when the temperature drips. Somehow when I think about my fondest moments at sea, I always remember rainy & windy days. Now, having lived well past the half-way point in my life, I choose to continue enjoying the care-free life of a seafarer. That special freedom that the sea gives to me is priceless. I respect the sea and I have never feared her, no matter how bad a storm I've been in and no matter how dark the weather became. It is this joy that I treasure, that gave me the motivation to become a volunteer with the Power Boat Association.
Whatever contributions I make and will make in the near future, it will all be to fuel this passion I have about enjoying the freedom of the seas as sons of an Island named Singapore.
