I asked Kurau to make a map of our journey that day when we took the boatride round South Port, to Bagan Hailam, the Yacth Club, back to South Port, Restaurant Perlama and then on to West Port, back from West Port we cut through Pulau Indah to come out of Laguna Park and then round Pulau Indah from the other end back to South Port again. Pretty ineffective explaining all these without a map isn't it?
But that Kurau just won't make me a map. One day after coming back Digital mall in PJ, he took me to his house and gave me a 5 minutes lesson on how to make a map myself. That man!! Anyway, below is the result. Please excuse the very crude effort as this is my FIRST map and I'm still proud of it despite its defect. This is the journey I've traveled with you so far - that is back to South Port. You can now visualize our journey better.
The journey will continue from this point later -

This is the map Kurau later did which showed the whole journey we took to supplement the one I made.
This is another view of FFM Berhad that produce all your wheat flour. Notice the bottom of the wharf. Crazy Ikan wanted to take us under them.
We passed by this crane lifting what appeared to be a pipe. Socoil factory is just behind this scene and they and other companies probably used this pipe to pump palm oil to bulk ship.
Passed by this brightly colored vessel. Its construction is different from the other ships. Not sure what type of vessel it was.
This ship was still loading or unloading cargoes. Was surprised that they are still doing it when rain threatened to pour any minute now. Usually, when rain is so eminent, the captain will stop any activities because he is responsible for the cargoes.
We had by now sailed to the end of the wharf. You can see the railway bridge ahead. It was already raining in some areas by now. The dark streaks coming down from the sky were rains.
We went under this bridge first.
Then we turned the boat around and aimed for the narrow hole that looked too narrow to accommodate the boat. We asked Kurau if he was sure. He laughed which did not put us at ease at all.
We drove straight for the hole accompanied by the hideous laughter of our insane captain... Tune in for the next episode of the mad captain of high sea...
