Everything seems to be on track - can no longer get Ivan on his cell phone as he is too far offshore, so back to Inmarsat SMS communications. They now have a miserable 5 knots of wind after some good wind for a time last night.
I have booked Fujin into berth F07 at Keppel Bay Marina from 12th to 15th February. Roy, the manager there, has been helpful with the clearance process which involves me faxing the Singapore immigration an arrival form and crew list 24 hours ahead of arrival. Fujin then has to call in on entry to Singapore waters and proceed to Sisters Island where the immigration process will be completed at sea. Once this is done, Fujin can proceed to the marina which is less than 5 miles from that point.
By the way, Ivan has added some more good photos at the Blueseas facebook page - go have a look!

| Extra: | "Fujin" is the Japanese God of Wind. The name is composed of two Chinese characters - "Fu" meaning wind and "Jin" meaning god. If you swap the order of the characters, you don't pronouce it "jinfu" - instead it is pronouced "kamikaze" or divine wind.... |
