Feb 23:  Gardeners vs. Wild Boars

Mark Malby posts in Lamma Gardener FB group:
"Geoff Smith faces off against his nemesis. "We're coming for yer eggplants," the chief boar grunted."

These 3 boars and their friends have been causing major devastation in the Tai Peng Community Garden! They've came in repeatedly and have rooted up some newly planted items, digging up the vegetable and flower beds searching for anything edible. Stronger fences are in progress!

Feb 18:  Robotics, Mobile Apps, Big Data & AI

"HK Electric has been presented with the "2018/19 Hong Kong Sustainability Award" and "Special Recognition for Innovation" by The Hong Kong Management Association (HKMA) in recognition of the Company's commitment to sustainability and the enhancement of performance through innovation and adoption of advance technology....

...HK Electric also collected the "Special Recognition for Innovation" award. Mr. Wan said that besides big data and AI, HK Electric also uses drones and robotics to optimise operation and its staff is inspired to use end-user-developed apps and technologies to streamline work processes.

Feb 17:  Drone Guide

A Complete Guide to Lamma Island by DRONE & DSLR (6 Feb 2020!)

You might also like their more detailed, but a bit older guides from 2018:

Spending A Day On Yung Shue Wan

Best Beaches on Lamma Island

Sok Kwu Wan to Yung Shue Wan Hike

Sok Kwu Wan Circular Hiking Trail

P.S. These guides are fairly short, but informative. Far from "Complete", plus a few small mistakes, but the only major one I found was the omission of the entire YSW-Pak Kok-Aberdeen ferry route.
But the many drone shots, including aerial panoramas, are pretty spectacular! Highly recommended!

Feb 12:  How to get furniture to Lamma painlessly

Liam Ferguson writes:

  1. Before the purchase of that new sofa or bed, ensure that the store will deliver to pier 4 in Central.

  2. Speak to the lady at the customer service office at pier 4 to "book" a space. Do this first!

  3. Set up a WhatsApp group with Steve at Trade Winds & the vendor to coordinate delivery to the pier.
    Steve adds: Trade Winds can also do the local pick-up for you (large or small) & bring it to the pier themselves.

  4. Sit back & let Steve & his team take the strain! My new sofa was delivered by trolley to my 2nd floor flat in Tai Wan San Tsuen & hoisted over the balcony. Steve & his guys unwrapped the sofa & removed the packaging for recycling.

  5. Call Steve! It's really that simple!


P.S. Lamma specialist Trade Winds will do moves of any size ("No move too small!). But the majority of their moves these days are international moves of HK-based professionals and families moving back home overseas. Sign of the times.

Steve: "We are here to throw a line to anyone in these unsure waters recently."
