Port Klang Views #16 - Out Into Open Sea Again.



This is my second attempt at map-making. As you can see, still needs a lot of improvement. ha ha. But you get the general idea. From this point, we have just left Perlama restaurant. At the end of this post, we would have reached the extreme end of the line.


Our boat left the railway bridge behind heading out for the open sea. We also left the dark clouds behind. The further out to sea we went the clearer the sky became.


This is the bridge that connects Pulau Indah (Beautiful Island) to the mainland. When we round the island we will be coming back from the other side and under this bridge.


We headed for the new custom complex which is still under construction. There are also some apartment blocks being built. The sea-view offered a commanding view of the sea and South Port. Anyone fancy a seaside apartment. We would love to visit you.


A close-up view of the new custom complex.


We chased this small boat that is so low that even a minor wave would threaten to flood it. Maybe the driver is too heavy as the boat is slopping heavily on one side.


We leave the custom complex and South Port behind heading further out to sea.


By now we have traveled far enough where the water is deep enough for large ship to anchor. We passed by this rusty bucket.


See how far we have left South Port by now. On the right of the picture is Pulau Indah. This part is still under-developed and consisted mainly of mangrove swamp. It won’t be that way for too long.


We are by no mean the only boat around for every now and then we will pass a boat traveling from the opposite direction. We waved to all of them like long lost brothers which we are – “brothers at sea”.


To be continued...
