We had a really lovely day out on the boat. I can understand the skipper normally motoring as usually the boat is chartered by about 20 young professionals for a booze cruise. When he saw it was just us 3 and understood that Martin is an experienced sailor he was more than happy to sail.
The yacht club is based in the city so we sailed out past the Hong Kong skyline which today was fuzzy due to smog. Luckily as we sailed out towards the smaller islands the smog cleared. Martin was in his element and I noticed the skipper nodded off at one point, happy to leave us to it. We stopped at Causeway Bay for a swim and lunch then sailed back in, dodging the fishing boats, ferries etc. And the sea was calm!
Matts dad, Mark has arrived so we 4 are off to Port Stanley for lunch tomorrow (Leah has to work again but we did see her for dinner this evening). Then Martin and I catch our flight to New Zealand at 7pm. There is an 'in town' check in service here at Central metro station so we can check in, drop our bags and go off for the day. Our bags are transported to the airport and we next see them in Auckland- hopefully!
