Subject: Boat Ride to Redang

It depends on the resort you are staying. Buddy of mine stayed at Pelangi, they transport guests by speedboat, the fastest at Merang jetty I was told, late his brother went and confirmed this too. FOUR, and not two or three, outboard Mercury motors - wife and I was looking for it, don't see it, all waiting boat only 2 outboard motors. Just like one of the forumites said, it is like Mission Impossible. Half hour to beach landing.

As for us three, I was prepared for the worst, kept my hat and sunglasses, and looked for a life jacket. Not long after, I realise that the trip would take us 60 minutes (eventhough boat crew told me it was 50 minutes). It was a nice leisure ride - life jacket NOT required. My father and I saw flying fishes - sitting topside with no canopy. They were like flat stones skipping on water - 5 hops, disappear then again, first time seeing the smaller asian version - shiny bluish body. Lasted only a few seconds but great show... sun was out, water was relatively calm, there were 11 or 12 pax and none looked seasick when we beached. Even after sitting top-side, about 10 feet up from the waterline, we were fine. The resort is Coral Island.
