Got this email from Yanni so here it is :

Dear All

I would like to extend my most heartfelt thank you for all your kind words and moral
support that you have given to both me and the Late Instructor Fadzil.

It was truly tough and sad for me as his wife and his family to see him leave this
world for good on that fateful morning in Hospital Kuantan. He passed away due to
cronic acute pneumonia at 0500 hours on Nov 14Nov07 after being in coma and life
support machine for 6 days.

The Late Instructor Fadzil will be missed dearly by friends and family and also to all
whom have known him in his life.

I would personally like to thank ALL of you for being there for me during this time
which I will never forget through out my life.

I am still sad and grieving till today however with the moral help from all of you, I
should be back on my feet and pull up my socks and carry on with my life and take this
positively.

Also not to forget my Special Thanks for those whom have gone through all the trouble
to come visit me and the Late Fadzil at both Hospital Kuantan and Chini Felda in
Pahang . Thank you dear friends. I would NOT be able to handle my emotions without all of you...

Nichi Asu Maru / Kuantan Wreck

The Kuantan Wreck's real name at the time of sinking was the Marvin 1. It had just been bought shortly before it sunk and it is possible that they didn't even have time to repaint her as many years ago we were able to seem the name Nichi Asu Maru on her starboard side. Here is something I wrote up years ago although things do change over time and marine life die and migrate... The Nichi Asu Maru (にちやす丸) a.k.a. The Kuantan Wreck / Marvin 1 Nichi にち- means several things and there is a logical progression of the meanings too. First, it means “circle” or “round”. It can also mean “sun” (that’s round, right?) or “day” because the day starts with the sun. Usually though, on things such as ships, it is used as the abbreviation for “Nippon / Nihon”, i.e., the Japanese name for their own country. The “Ni” character is also the first character in Nippon / Nihon. Also note the Japanese flag features a rising sun. So “nichi” on the ship quite possibly means “Japan

Flor do Mar ShipWreck and Lost Treasures

Historical background The Flor do Mar (Flower of the Sea) was a Portuguese ship of 400 tons, built in Lisbon in 1502. Her maiden voyage was under the command of Estavao de Gama (brother of Vasco de Gama). She was part of the second voyage to India by the Portuguese in 1505. On her return voyage, she was beached rounding the Cape and put into Mozambique for repairs. Then, she was taken out of the Lisbon - Goa route and participated in the conquest of Ormuz in 1507. She was also part of the battle of Diu in 1509, the conquest of Goa in 1510 and the conquest of Malacca in 1511. She was finally lost in a violent storm off the northern tip of the coast of Sumatra on her return trip to Lisbon with Alfonso de Albuquerque on board and the spoils of Malacca.

The weather was fine with a calm sea when suddenly; sailing
