Ikan Terbang: slept under stars; Castle Rock; jook; Jerome is cautious

Last night we all moved on deck to sleep at 2 am. The wind died so it was warm enough to sleep under the stars. We laid out our cushions and sheet bags under the main mast.

This morning we rose at 6 and we started motoring at 7 toward Castle Rock for our first dive.

Castle Rock is supposed to be the best diving on our trip. No current, lots of coral, and many fish. The last set of clients on this boat dove twice at Castle Rock. Maybe we will too.

We brought several books on board but we have yet to crack a single one. We're always occupied. When we're motoring we're concentrating on looking at the horizon to stay well in spite of the rocking. Other times we're diving. When we're not diving or motoring, we're eating or talking or singing.

Maurice cooked jook for breakfast. My mom told him how to make it last night (soak the rice overnight) and he did a good job. We ate the rice porridge with salty fish.

We feel safe diving with Jerome because he's safe and doesn't take risks when we dive. He briefs us thoroughly and checks the current at each dive site before the dive.
