Pulau Sekudu Part 1

Ks organised a predawn trip to Pulau Sekudu and there were a total of 6 of us who went on this trip. We met up at Changi Point Ferry Terminal to take the bumboat to Pulau Sekudu at 3.45 am. The timing of the trip is based upon by the tide as the tide would be at its lowest when we reach the very small island near Pulau Ubin.

It was rather pitch black and there were several people camping overnight on the island. We had an amphibious landing on the island and i had changed to my army boots. All of us had brought along torchlights to see the organisms living on the coastal region.

Ks taught us many of the names of the living organisms and visit his nature blog if you are interested.
