What To Do When Sailing For The Very First Time

Our fishing boat, IJ, sailed off for the very first time a couple of days after the New Year. The operator, Atan, actually wanted to sail right away after having the boat blessed and dedicated to the Lord. However, I was not able to give them the starting capital because our fund depository bank was closed during the Christmas day. Also, most of the fishing supplies stores were closed and they were unable to buy all the things they needed for their first trip.

Ramil explained to me how things would go during the very first trip of the tuna fishing boat into the Indonesian waters. First, it should fish for tuna on their way to the Indonesian port. Once it docks at Betung, Indonesia, it must secure a "pas kecil" which means "a small entry pass" in English. This pass is very important for the fishing boat to be able to dock at Indonesia anytime it needs to.

Hot Deal: To Invest or Not To Invest

One day, I was doing some computer-related stuff and I can't seem to find my external CD-ROM. For those who doesn't know what a CD-ROM is, it is actually the part of your computer where you put your CDs into. So, my last resort was to go to our technical office and borrow from the guys over there. I was pretty sure they have plenty of it.

When I entered the MIS technical office, Johven and Jhames weren't there. It was then that I remembered that the two went out of town. And again, it was only Ramil that was left in their office. Ramil has grown tired of going to our branches every now and then for more than 5 years and so he assigned his subordinates to handle branch servicing tasks.
