Fishing Offshore
Chermin Fishing Season again
 |
| Tiger Cat alongside RSYC after a day of fishing off Pulau Salu She has been laid up far too long. High & dry parked next to the new Boat Shed at RSYC. Now fitted with a Ray Marine Chartplotter complete with digital radar, sounder and auto-pilot, she is ready to make longer journeys to Pulau Aur and even to Phuket. Her twin Yamaha 150s are an excellent match and she cruises easily at 26 knots sipping only 60 litres of fuel every hour. With her 910 litre capacity, she has a range of 390 nautical miles. Good to reach Penang without having to refuel. Not bad for a small boat. Next project, cockpit awnings and a much needed anchor windlass. In the meanwhile, I'll need to go fishing more often to justify the expenditure. |
