Sailing...me? Yeap

Away from seriousocity and into some leisure, I went sailing! Yeap, not on a tiny three seater sailboat but rather a ten seater or more sailboat. I met the owner of Petima, the boat, Captain Peter and his wife Aideen who is from Ireland. I've been on so many boats in the past from a small wooden craft to a dinghy to a big white boat. Dad's a wannabe fisherman, he fishes in his spare time, hence the different types of boats we have in our very own little yacht club in Berakas, minus the sea though but we have plenty of beer! So that's a good thing. The dinghy experience was a dreadful one at first but eventually turned out to be quite an adventure especially on Brunei rivers. Ya just don't exactly know when the crocodiles would bite/eat the inflatables off the dinghy, if you know what I mean. The experience of boarding a sailboat, to add up to my boat list, is very different. In a sailboat, you do away with engines and only dependable on wind power. It makes the roaring of the engines at mute and all you can hear is the boat parting the river when it moves against it and the ooohh sooo wonderful feeling of the breeze in your hair and not to mention me, Ck, basking in the sun with the boat moving on motion. Its was simply relaxing or how the teenagers these days put it 'Chillaxing'.
You can go day sailing or catch the Brunei sunset and even have fine dining on the boat. Or perhaps you can have your pre-wedding shots too...I was thinking more of having a Poker Night in the boat. Whatcha reckon poker buddies? Yes or a no go? I take it as a Yes. We took off at Menteri, walked bare foot into the boat. Just kicking it in, basking in the sun, had some orange juice, listened to some music, had some laughters. It was all good fun. And oh yeah, the boat is indoors and outdoors, fear not if it rains. There is a kitchen, dining lounge, toilet with shower, master bedroom if you're feeling a little bit cozy or snuggly. Ahem. Cough. The service has been endorsed by Brunei Tourism and you can make your bookings at 8722 347 or email bohariabd@yahoo.com.
