1000th visitor to Kusu Reef Walk!
The day started “normally” enough at 4am … picked up Han Chong and his friend Grace (who apparently had a nice nap in the back of my van on the way there) from my place to Pasir Panjang Ferry Terminal … only to find that the gate to the carpark was closed!! A frantic and haressed Ming Sheng finally got cars organised to ferry people through another gate, and Bernard managed to rouse the security guard to open the locked gates. The minor bump in the road set us back by 30 minutes, but we managed to make that up with a very fast ferry ride (about 25 min).
Guides and participants waiting outside the carpark gates of the Pasir Panjang Ferry Terminal.
Torches, something you normally don’t carry around, came in handy this morning … I bet the inhabitants of the lagoon thought that E.T. was visiting them 
So, the walk started in darkness for most groups, but soon the sun peeked over the horizon and by the time it showed its merry face, we were about half done with the walk. I had originally been tasked to take photos to fill in the gaps for our guide training presentation, but was roped in to guide last minute due to an over supply of visitors. Nonetheless, I managed to get some photos:
Limpets on a rock. Limpets are mollusks that seal themselves in with a small amount of water so they don’t dry out while the tide is out. In WW2, scuba commandos would sink enemy ships using “limpet mines” - mines that that had a strong magnet and were stuck to the bottom of ships.
