OFSO at lunch today, having forgotten that it's imposible to order a glass of wine in the Portal de Galliardo: nothing smaller than a bottle is served. About the same price anyway.

Along the same lines.... Yours truly about to go fly back and forth to Catalina Island all afternoon last weekend, and skippering a boat in Croatia in 2019 pre-Covid:

Good to hear you are back on the water.
Good Saffer mate of mine now living in Florida, plies his way up and down the Caribbean and the Med, working delivering yachts when he is not working as skipper for some US congressman. He has managed to keep working throughout this contagion and persists in tormenting with photos like these...

Re: Photos of Everybody
The Dukling looks like a load of old Junk...
Is the Dukling deep sea going? I remember there was a junk that used to sail around the world. I went down to the Royal Cape Yacht Club in Cape Town to see it.

Hey look at this...
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-54460191
Hong Kong's last authentic junk boat is struggling to stay afloat due to a lack of overseas tourists.
The Dukling normally takes foreign visitors on scenic trips around its bays but these have dried up due to travel restrictions.
Its owner says it is fighting to survive and having to focus on local citizens during the downturn.
Junk boats have a long history in the former British colony dating back to the Han Dynasty.
"The Dukling is the icon of Hong Kong, I am not only running a business on it, I am trying to maintain this treasurable piece of antique for Hong Kong," owner Hazen Tang told the BBC.
"We keep struggling to survive, and we will survive in this tough year," he added.
The Dukling is believed to be the last authentic junk boat left in Hong Kong's waters. Other junks exist but they are replicas.

Twas indeed a fabulous junk!....very much appreciate I was able to do that, also appreciate I have lost count now of the amount of times I have been in and out of HKG.....I know the place like a second home, but perhaps I will never now go back....sad
Re: Photos of Everybody
Yeah,....shame....my Brother in Laws eldest Brother (Based in London) owned it for a period of time in association with another Aussie chap, together they had some rather large drinking establishments as business concerns I understood.Hey look at this...
