Belait Barakah blessing

Then it all continued, and we are ready with the Utility boat for suppoting the 'mothership'.

But before they lift anchor, due to Islam tradission, a Blessing is apropriate. Asking for a safe journey for ship and crew....

Belait District

Belait is the largest distric in Brunei. The word 'Belait' is taken from the name of the native inhabitants of Belait, the Belait People. The district is administered from the town of Kuala Belait, its capital.

Belait is governed by an appointed District Officer. The current District Officer of Belait is The Honourable Haji Jamain bin Momin. Other major towns are Seria and Sungai Liang.

The district covers about half of the entire nation. The landscape of the district varies from the peat swamps and lowland forests near the coast to the montane rainforesst in the interior parts of the district. The Belait River (Sungai Belait) flows through Belait and it is the longest river in Brunei.

We went to the far end, only a few dogs left ....

Exercise

When the body isn't moving, it starts to grow - and that's not good. Then It's time to start to exercise. Start slow with a bath in the pool though, but a start is a start. Water is perfect, air temperature never below 25, birds singing - what more do you need to float around? Next step is to swim.....

When I'm ready I'll slowly move into the training centre. The machines are scary, but I'll probably overcome the horror and in due time start to love them. Will inform when (if) that day appears.

Bowling, why not?

If you look carefully, you'll find the ball....
