The monsoon period has finally come to an end. So we could finally plan a fishing trip, which is something great and new for us.

Tides are caused by two types of forces acting on our rotating Earth: gravity and inertia. The gravitational force of the moon is stronger than the sun (as it is nearer to earth) and would pull the water surface in the direction of the moon, to form high tide. On the opposite side of the earth which is furthest away from the moon, however, the gravitational force of the moon is minimal and the centrifugal forces (rotational inertia) of the seawater which is actually rotating at almost the same speed of the earth, would cause the water level to rise (meaning also high tide but slightly lower than that facing the moon).
Hence in theory, the interaction of these forces would bring about two high tides and low tides a day at any coastal point on earth. (more…)

6 men aboard the “Rocking Angels”. The boat which i often charter for fishing. In fact, my very first offshore trip was organized to James, a skipper well known at Punggol Marina Country Club (Now known as Marina Country Club). Many of my experiences came from his teaching. And i believed i had stepped onto his boat for about 10 times since then. But of course i had also many other tryouts with other local charters. Though his has the most memorable one till today.
