From Tai Long Wan: Nae Ferry!

"Sorry Babe but the ferry appears to have left on time at 4.45pm ( now 5.15) You know how unreliable these Chinese are, keeping to timetables and such" chortled our amused leader.

"I know, lets try your iPhone and one of its new apps to call up a water taxi". Aye right! thinks the unamused 'she who must be obeyed'. "I'm not walking another inch tonight..." as the dying embers of the eastern sun going down in the west(that's enough peotic mince! ed.)brought a rapidly advancing darkness.

Hey Presto! (or Apple if you will), within about 7 minutes the comforting roar of twin 150bhp Evinrudes brought joy and comfort all round and less than 10 Minutes later hair blowing in the slipstream, the whole expidition was arriving at Wong Shek pier to pick up the number 94 bus back to Oi Gin (Outward Bound) as if we had never been away.
