This Sunday I’m taking Express Boat from Kuching to return back to Sarikei. As usual. The name of the ship is Sea Jet 2 and it belongs to Joystar Capital Sdn Bhd.

I managed to reach the wharf around 12.25pm. The boat is scheduled for departure at 12.45pm.

I entered the ship and saw that the 1st seat of the front row at normal seats are still vacant. Thus I choose to sit there so that I can stretch my leg.

I was never a wresting fan but they have been showing this WWE No Mercy 2007 so many times that right now I know who is Mr. McMahon, Triple H, Randy Orton, Umaga, Big Daddy V, Rey Mysterio, etc. Even watching sexy chicks like Candice and Phoenix battling it out does not make it any better :(

They are selling snacks and drinks too. Of course the price are more steep than normal price. I always bought my own drink and food before the ride.

They are asking all the passengers to write down the name, IC No and gender. Just in case if something happens, they can count the casualties. Gulp!

Feeling bored, I went upstair and to the back of the ship for some fresh air. You might take down your cap if you are wearing one. I once lost my cap due to wild rush of wind.

Seats are provided too. You can choose to sit under the shed or basking under the sun for some tan. Sometimes the ride can be jumpy so hold on to the metal bar.

I finally reached Sarikei at 4.15. Besides transporting people, they are also delivering cargo. You can see from the picture that they can even help to deliver motorcycles. Make sure you have someone waiting at the wharf to collect the cargo.

Finally…Sarikei Wharf.

If this is your first time to visit Sarikei, there is a map of Sarikei road at the wharf. You can study it to get familiar with Sarikei’s road.
