The 2018 Summer - so far cruel and clear

It has been a summer with a capital S so far - record heat in May, a regular wet June, and now the booming skies of Philippines air coming into Hong Kong from the south.  I went for a long ride yesterday morning - 72km - came back feeling wasted.  It was 31 degrees with 90 percent humidity at 4.50am.  I think Washington is going to be the same - so good practice.

Looking North-East out over Sheung Sze Wan bay.

Looking back over the bay towards Lobster Bay village and a super-low tide.  

Clearwater Bay Beach 1 on Saturday morning.  Aiden and I went for a swim, and it was fantastic; the water was gin-clear (you can see the reef in the bottom right of the photo), schools of fish, and 29 degrees.  I loved the dude fishing just inside the shark-nets; old-timer in his paddy-field hat.  By the time we'd walked home we both looked like we'd been swimming in our clothes - especially thanks to a dad's short cut (not) which turned out to be a coastal rock scramble and then a massive climb up a hill.
