Beach bums

June 12, 2007

Daddy wanted to take the Blursotong out for a run on Sunday, it’s been awhile since she last stretched her legs propellers?!

Why is it whenever we have guests on board it rains! And when it’s just us, the sun’s out in its full glory!

Pulau Hantu is under reclamation at the moment, so the only other island left to go to is the newly beached Lazarus Island, also known as Pulau Sekijang Pelepah. I say newly beached because it wasn’t there two years ago, an obvious move made by Sentosa to provide boaters from One Degree 15 and the IR with a new playground at their backyard.

The last 2 trips to Lazarus, workers were throwing sandbags into the sea, and planting coconut palms along the beach. At least there’s a bit of shade for the beach bums now. On sunday, there were at least seven boats there including the il lido boat. It seems like Lazarus is the next hip and happening southern island of Singapore!

“Lazarus island is yet another island with lush tropical vegetation, golden sands and aquamarine waters. For this reason, it is earmarked by the Singapore Tourist Promotion Board for development into an inviting tropical beach resort island.” - courtesy of pagenation

Well whatever the plans are for Lazarus, it will never be a phi phi or phuket. With so much traffic at the ports, the waters will always remain mucky.
