Thanks to Typhoon Kai-Tak our beaches are covered with pellets again which is a good thing, they have been swept out of rocks and onto the beaches. The more that we can remove from the tidelines over the next few days the better for the marine life and sea. I've...

Typhoon Mawar has caused us to be delayed further, so our expected departure date now is Thursday 7th June. The Typhoon is projected to track in the exact route we will travel. Having a typhoon chase us was not something that sounds like much fun, so we will leave...
