Friday,30th October 2009, Sailing.

After done some jungle trekking on the previous weeks, now we come for new experienced that is sailing.

Friday, we are told to be at serasa's parking lot by 6.20 am. Some of our friend came a bit late because they taught that there will be a bus at UBD. We waited for the owner of the yacht to pick us up using a small boat. As they arrived, 8 of us (beacan) ,10 with captain and the owner of the yacht fit in the boat. This was the time when the disaster happened. The boat that fit 10 people turn over. Everyone fall into the water,with their belongings. The problems are,their are not using life jackets and their did'not know how to swim. Luckly,They can hold on the boat and some of them grab the life jacket. All the belonging,such as cameras,mobile phones and other stuff all get wet.

But we need to continued the activity, we need to be responsible as the activities and work given. As we reached the yacht, the owner give us a short brief on how to be on board and the disciplines. She told us to watch our steps,always hold on something to prevent being unbalanced that we might fall into the water. She also taught us about mapping, how to read a map. but it quite confusing. My members and i also learnt how to handle the yacht as the captain give us the opportunities to hold on the wheel. This so much taught us leadership skills. As we also learnt how to tie a knot, to rise up the sail which we never done it before.

• King knot (useful knot)
• Other knot that i didnt know what it called.

Economy of Brunei, As we sailed around muara, we can see the port where the main trade port was. There was so many ships,as mention by the owner, the ships come from around the world. The export and import trade. Here, Talking about the environment, There was a cement factory near the muara port, which told by the owner, when a time there will be a huge dust coming out from the factory and spread when the wind blew. this may dangerous to health.

We sail through Muara Besar and pelumpong island(man-made island) which have been cut out about 500meter to let the big ship to pass through. We also stopped for a while at the pelumpong island to enjoy and rest. The island was so clean and the water was so clear. Even some animals live there such as monkey.

We back to the yacht after an hour break, some of us enjoy swimming to the yacht. We supposed to be at the beach by 12pm but we arrived 2hours late because of the yacht's enjine have some problem that need to be fixed. We soon arrived after the enjine was fixed.

Afterall, the activity was successful. Even we started a bit late due to UNEXPECTED accident. but it was useful to us, it taught us more about survival, discipline and leadership. And always aware of danger, (SAFETY ALWAYS COME FIRST). Also we need to be aware of the environment, I BELIEVE that if we protect our environment, this can help to increase our economy in way of tourism. Even i was so surprise, that we still have the beautiful island.
