Junk season


The summer is moving in slowly to Hong Kong and it is Junk season again. This means renting a Junk made of teak along with a few friends chugging off to one of the islands dotted around HK island. We did this last Sunday. Alec was on this junk, I was on the next door one. We sailed for a short time to Turtle Beach. Turtles return there each year from June to October to lay eggs and the beach is closed. So we took a group picnic and BBQ, lots of wine and water, towels and cozzies. the kids had a ball jumping off the roof of the junk into the cool water. Parents took it in turns to supervise and relax. We were only a little sunburnt but very tired when we chugged home at 5 pm.
