When the night has come

"Stand by me" was the one song that I kept thinking off while I sailed through the night. Especially the part 'when the night has come, and the land is dark'.

There's so much to tell about the Raja Muda Race that I participated in, but being a no good story-teller, I've no idea how to tell it in a non-boring way. So here goes anyway.

The facts first:

• There's three main passages to race. Port Klang - Pangkor Island - Penang Island - Langkawi Island
• In all three passage races, we started off around 1 pm.
• We arrived in Pangkor Island at about 8 am the following day, Penang Island about 4 am the following day, and Langkawi at about 9.30 pm the same day (yay)
• I sailed in a Hunter 49 boat
• I threw up a total of 4 times: thrice on the first passage, once on the second, and none on third!
  

One thing for sure, is that I learned a LOT from my first offshore racing. I really don't know if I'll do this again. Not next year for sure. Nevertheless, I certainly do not regret going for it.
