Hello Excellent Ones,
Way back when, on the day I turned 51 I took a cruise with a few friends on the Aqua Luna. The Aqua Luna is a motorized Junk and is a moving landmark of Hong Kong. Its image is everywhere. Brochures, stamps, propaganda leaflets…etc. March 25 in Hong Kong was a little hazy, but that was ok, blistering heat would not have been great on the exposed deck of the Aqua Luna. Mind you as one of the pictures clearly show you can take shelter in the lovely little tea house built right on the boat.
The cruise followed the shore line of Hong Kong island and we travelled for about an hour and a half. The sun was nice, the elevator music that they played constantly was actually nice, the glass of wine I had was nice, the gentle talking of my friends was nice, the rocking of the boat was nice, the cool sea breeze was nice, the soft comfortable sofa thing I was on was nice, and as a result I could not help but doze off. That was nice.
So my 51st was a memorable one in that my troubles seemed so far away as I seriously "chilled," and "hung out," with a good group of people who dozed off like me. A guess that is what you call a good time when you get over 50. A sip of wine, a nice chat, soak in some sun, and a nap. Getting older ain't too bad at all.
God bless you.
Love adios and peng on!

Chilling and hanging out on deck.
The on deck teahouse. Very quaint and nice.
