Something lurking round the corner...

I don't know about you but this guy scared the beejeezus out of me when I first saw him lurking round the corner. What is the point of the display anyway? Do not steal lifejackets or this bogeyman will get you?

Fog on the water

The ferry captain was taking no chances this morning. Go slow, foghorn, the works... They must be extra worried especially after the Lamma IV incident.

Which got me thinking... How often do they check the life jackets on board? How do we know they all work? Or is that just me being paranoid after reading this Huffington Post article?

Notice anything missing?

How is it that the popular stretch of the waterfront opposite China Bear (which incidentally has lots of kids and dogs playing) doesn't have a single life buoy?

I presume no one has fallen in before so no one has thought of scattering a few along the sides.

But one little misstep (or a runaway skateboard) and that could all change.

I'm not asking for ugly railings. We have more than enough of those defacing the countryside. But one or two life buoys won't come amiss.

Or does everyone in Mui Wo know how to swim?
