After 4 1/2 years we finally got the opportunity to visit Empire. We have celebrated Christmas and New Years more or less onboard.
From Boat Lagoon Marina and life ashore we sailed to Ao Chalong, Nai Harn, Ko Razha Nai og Yoi. Skin diving, beach, warm days and delicious thai food. We have had wonderful weeks with excellent service - to bad we did not get more time sailing with Empire. Hope it want be this long until next time...
We are glad we could celebrate Christmas and New Years together. We enjoyed seeing Eirik again, how he has grown and developed, especially during the last 3 weeks. The days onboard has gone too quick. We will think back on a joyful time together, nice sailing, swimming, some shopping and least but not last delicious food both onboard and ashore. We often think about you, and whish you a safe and good voyage.
On the bus back from Singapore to Malaysia we met Yong Kim. When other transport failed, he offered to drive us to Puteri Harbour Marijna. He signed onboard for Empire's pizza and for a daytrip on Johur Strait - and together with friends he took us sightseeing on the southern tip of Malaysia.
Yong Kims wife was pregnant in 7.th month and signed onboard for Empire's pizza.
