Friday evening on the 24th of April we sailed into the Jurong Port and tied up at berth J5. It was my 126th day of my trip having covered a total of 31,984 nautical miles. I had visited seventeen different ports and spent all but eight nights on board.
Some of the crew assisted me in getting my luggage on to the wharf and then I had to clear Singapore immigration. The whole process was reasonably quick and the ICA officers were most polite and professional. They did have a few questions for me as I was apparently the first passenger they had ever encountered coming off of a cargo ship.
After that it was a call for a taxi and a short ride back to my apartment. I'm spending the weekend unpacking and sorting through my souvenirs. I'll probably do a few other posts with some additional photos and with my final thoughts about the whole adventure.
I hope my blog was enjoyable reading, and for those of you who might be anticipating a similar trip I trust it was reasonably informative.
More later...

George,
I have been following your trip since Dale introduced me to your blog. I worked with him on his blog while he was on board, which was very exciting for me. I understand you are quite the photographer and Dale has promised me a chance to see what you had given him. I tend to live some of my travel dreams through Dale and your blog was a good way to recover from what was a daily task once he left the boat.
Thanks
