Sea kayaking is always a pleasure, but sometimes there is a level of stress for a sea kayak guikde that makes the day more educational than enjoyable.

Today was NOT one of those days. I completely enjoyed my day out on the water . Thank you ladies. A great day.

A cold and windy day, enough to warm your heart though, paddling with people from all over the world.

The sun was out early which made the day glorious. The wind was strong enough to keep the paddlers on their toes and our entrepid couple developed a fine sense of rhythm, even if it took most of the day to get there!

The UNESCO Global Geopark is always rewarding. Another great day out on the ocean in Hong Kong.

One of the local residents of Tai Tam Bay is a sprightly young 80 year old Japanese gentleman. He has been building his deam home here for the past 60 years – then along came Typhoon Mangkhut was one of the worst storms to hit Hong Kong in recent history.

In 2 hours, the dream home was destroyed. No loss of life, but the total drestruction of a lifelong dream.

So today we helped out. A huge pile of debris was unsitely at the edge of what once was a garden terrace, now washed into the bay. We pulled it to pieces, removing all oranic debris, then sorted through the mess to recover anything of value, seperated the recyclables and bagged the rest ready for disposal. A totally satisfying day, BUT still a lot of work to be done.

We’ll be back in 2019! Many times!!

Everytime I go paddling with Singaporeans I smile all day. It makes no difference what the weather conditions or sea conditions. Singaporeans are like the New Zealanders of the northern hemisphere! Just really nice people.

A fantastic day. We explored, paddled, discovered and enjoyed. Thanks for being from Singapore.
