Terengganu Candat Sotong

On Sunday, 21st of March 2010, the state tourism sponsored by TM launched the "Bulan Candat Sotong". The highlight was a squid catching competition. 21 teams were there. 10 person to a boat.
Off they go in the overcast and slightly gloomy day - some say the squid will be thriving if it rains...

The happy faces of the competitors full of spirit and predilection of winning. There's the volume, weight, length and various other categories.

Preparing the gear that will surely bring us victory.

As night falls, the swell came higher and longer...


And victory remains but a distant dream. The eight of us from the "maritime" fraternity caught a total of 3 measly squid. The longest of which is 16.2 cm - the judges measured it just to appease the team I presume. We had a good laugh about it...
