Quick Update

Family and Friends .. hope all is well with you. Here is quick update:
Robbie and Heather are having a fabulous time in Hawaii, SCUBA, Kayaking and hiking.

You know its Robbie by the "blue fins" getting ready to embark on a nice "Navy Drift Dive"Back on board, loving life ..Robbie is a certified SCUBA instructor (a very good one) and recently got Nitrox certified

(Tech info) for Sean and Andrew:
Nitrox refers to any gas mixture composed (excluding trace gases) of nitrogen and oxygen; this includes normal air which is approximately 78% nitrogen and 21%oxygen, with around 1% inert gases, primarily argon. The most common use of nitrox mixtures containing higher than normal levels of oxygen is in SCUBA diving where the reduced percentage of nitrogen is advantageous in reducing nitrogen take up in the body's tissues and so extending the possible dive time and/or reducing the risk of decompression sickness (also known as the bends).

Andrew reports all is well at home. Sean is finishing up university for the summer, and will be home around Aug 18th.

Here in south China .. IT'S HOT .. VERY HOT ... I've been on the move since I landed, just over a week ago.
Matt and I went into Hong Kong on Friday, clear day with excellent views all around but just too HOT to enjoy walking around.
I love the backstreets, Kowloon, (九龍 nine dragons) near Mongkok MRT station, looking out from the entrance to Langham Place hotel.View from HK Island over to new territories / Mainland Today (Saturday) Niden, Dave and I are at the factory with one of our customers closing on shipment details.
Sunday evening, we have dinner plans for 15, and will "push out the boat" a little.
Next week Dave and I will go back to Shanghai for a two days and then Taipei for three.
