Armed with my camera, I joined some overseas friends of mine to take a ride on the Ferry from Penang Island to the Mainland. Crossing the channel using the ferry is a historical transport means since perhaps 50 years ago.
This shot of the mariner yacht docking bay near Penang is a shot for my collection (",)

This is the ferry. The ferries are named after islands in Malaysia. This one is called Pulau Angsa (Goose Island). I heard a story that there was once a tourist to Penang, he waited for several hours for the ferry, and many ferries came and went, but he did not board them. Then the ticketing clerk approached him and asked him why he has been sitting there waiting for so long. He answered.. he was waiting for the Butterworth ferry (laugh).
