Our next Sibu kelong trip

This year, we started the practice of going to the kelong at night so we have an extra night of fishing time. Not only is it much cooler, there is also less competition as most of the other people would be sleeping. We go Hotboys kelong most often and always have no problems arranging for special transport (at an additional cost of course), and thus assumed that all the kelongs also offer this option.

This time round we decided to go Ah Ngan instead. We have been there before but never arriving at night, so we only found out a couple days ago that they don't send boats out at night due to safety issues. Surprised, we called all the other kelongs to check. Conclusion: Hotboys & Ah Fatt - yes, Ah Ngan & Ah You - no.

Perhaps Ah Ngan and Ah You, being further out at sea, experience stronger/faster currents and therefore have to be more concerned about the potential dangers of transporting customers at night?
