Towards Pulau Sibu

The boat is now about half way between the mainland and the island of Pulau Sibu.









The island in front is Pulau Sibu where the Sibu Resort is located (We are not going there). Our destination is a kelong in front of the island.

Behind Sibu is another island call Pulau Tinggi. The island has a very tall mountain in the middle and the top of the mountian is usually obscured by cloud, which is what we see here. During the durian season, boats full of durians from the Pulaus would come near the kelongs.










We are approaching the island and Ah Ngan's kelong can be seen. An Yew's kelong is to the right.










Ah Yew's kelong can be seen quite clearly now. There are a total of four kelongs in the area but his kelong is the one that stands in the channel between the islands so it is reputed to have bigger fishes.








Finally, clear sight of Ah Yew's kelong. I can hear the sotong calling. By the way, my job is to catch fresh sotong for everybody to try. But on this trip i forgot to bring wasabi.
