I think I rather not take the risk.. never bring rubber ducks for the rain too. :P Also, I have to meet my sister at the airport.

All the best to you guys. Hope there is a Cloud filter and Flood filter!

Johor is recovering from flood, wish you all good luck this Sat.

can call the "Resort" at Batu Layar to check out the road condition:
Tg.Setajam Pengerang Resort
Tel: (60)7- 8222044

That resort is about 1km walk from the usual site.

Richard,

I think we need to call off the trip. I hate high tides :)

Hi,
I check the weather forecast in Johor Bahru and Desaru, it'll be raining till next thursday... only forecast till next thursday. Also, the sea condition is "4.5-5.5 metres - Dangerous to all marine, coastal and oil platform activities".

Anyway, I think we should cancel it just in case condition get worst.

Have a nice day.
