While the weather was rather crummy --- It was overcast, hazy, smoggy, windy and cold --- there were some nice ships passing thru this 20th Day of January 2024, and Lantau Bay was one of them. This 142 meter long container ship sailing under the flag of Antigua Barbuda (St. John's appears to be its home port) was travelling west thru the Kanmon Strait.

Remember friends, even on a crummy day, there are still things of beauty to be enjoyed. Go photograph something. Go to a museum. Watch a classic film. Read poetry or a good book. Watch ships passing by.
