So after I read Viv suggestions that the 2003 NEDfest be held in Pulau
Redang, I started looking into the diving and dining opportunities all the
while wondering if Feeeesh had been there.  Well, after only a couple of
minutes of investigation of the satellite islands and dive sites off Redang
I saw the island of Ling located right between Pinang and Ekor Tebu.

        Good viz and pelagic encounters, who can say, "No."  God and the Illinois
Assembly willing, my wife will be retired by then and there won't be any
obstacles to our going; and we just have to, if only to see what kind of
discount we can get where they name a whole island after Bob.  Heck, I was
amazed at the discount he got us at Hotel Bahia.


DPTNST,
