SAF Yacht Club


View Larger Map

I’m back in Singapore today to pack up and catch my breath before flying back to the US.  It was a nice clear day today so I tried to shoot a panorama of the yacht club where I’ve been staying… the stitching isn’t perfect but you can get the idea.  Click to see the full-sized image.

To the left is the club hotel, in the middle is the pier/breakwater that leads to the marina where the Clamn is moored.  On the right is the club restaurant.

In addition to all the cargo ships visible in the straight, there’s one more feature to the view which didn’t show up in that panorama — the Changi HDB Staging Ground.

I spent a long time wondering why there was constant construction at the staging ground but nothing ever got built.  It turns out that the staging ground is where construction rubble is hauled after buildings are demolished.  The debris is loaded into barges and hauled to various points around the coast for land reclamation.
