Though we completed the race at 1220 hours by crossing 4° 00.0 N, the crew struggled as the winds had died. The currents pushed us away and Leopad Dream drifted aimlessly.
With darkness arriving and one crew member down with sea sickness, Skipper Jega instructed a crew member to transmit distress signals. Hand held flares were used to attract the attention of fishing vessels.
At last at 1730, a fishing trawler responded to the ‘crew waving on board’ and Leopad Dream was towed to Pasir Bogak in Pangkor. The day offered an experience to reflect and learnings to apply.
