This powerful tugboat used to be the playground of me and my sisters. The boat #18 also brought us to a no. of boat trips in Sai Kung. #18 has 2 powerful propellers and it also has a spinning wheel in the middle of the boat. My father told me the physics about a heavy weighted spinning wheel on balancing the boat from rocking too much. When the easterly wind blows, the sea off Sai Kung is very rough. #18 can break the fierce wave like a giant axe. As you can see the ship body is so stable in the sea. #18's propellers are also on a rotational function that it can swift the direction right away instead of the conventional tail flag. BTW, the background is Mei Foo Sun Chuen 美孚 and Lai King 荔景 (no high rise buildings on the hill then).

BTW, I told Lily Mo Chef today when she called me to have a "free" tour around HK by reading your blog.
She is supposed to arrive France yesterday. So today when I received her call, I thought she reported arrival in France. However she told me she cannot leave LA last Friday(due to the Iceland effect in Europe).
Lily is so happy she have excuse to stay for 2 more weeks. So I told her to read your blog and TC's. And we can play badminton again this Saturday.
:)
Too bad, but better not travel to Europe for the time being. Some people here complain about the airlines, but if they don't care about their lives, the airlines do, so do the crew and the people on the ground. A Taiwanese guy shouted in the HK Airport and claimed in Taiwan there shouldn't be something like this. Then why don't he fly China Airlines or Eva Air but take a stop from HK. Strange people.
Good that you can have more time to get together with Lily. She can enjoy more sunny happy time in LA. :)
You are right SEA. Lily feels very lonely in France as she said there is not much Chinese in France. She once thought you moved to France so at least one more Chinese for her, but I told her you only go there for business trip.
Since she is not working in France so she has no life. Also she said no one eats out like the way we do in LA and no cheap HK style cafe type or decent J food like Shabb there.
When she was in LA working at the bank, she has many "chasers" so after work she was busy too till after dinner. Now a big contrast.
Yes she has booked badminton court this Saturday for us already and after that we may go to Shabb again for sashimi.
I told her she shall go to Lawry's Prime Rib too.
Mmh.. my Paris friends also told me similar things. So Lily feels more lively when she gets back to LA. More food, more activities and more friends.
Yes everything more more more and also cheaper in LA for her.
Lily is very lively in LA as it is home coming to her.
No doubt about it as that's the place she has spent most of her time.
