After a hectic week
working around the clock
in offices and sometimes
being scolded by clients
and/or bosses, many of
us were eager to breathe
fresh air and to get
away from work. What can
be more relaxing than
sailing on a hot summer
Sunday? In search for a
retreat, 28 Warwickers
and friends gathered
together in the morning
of 24 June 2007 at the
Central Piers ¡V ¡§All
aboard. Ready to sail!¡¨
On board of a luxurious
four-deck vessel, we
sailed to Sai Kung under
the blessing of the
sizzling sun and calm
wind. The weather was
lovely. The sound of the
moving vessel breaking
against the waves
together with the
whistle of the wind
composed a wonderful
symphony for us. Our
minds were made clear
and stress disappeared
magically. We chatted
and laughed. Everyone
felt relaxed.
Within a short while,
the vessel arrived at
the scenic Sai Kung. A
buffet lunch was served.
However, the prime
attraction of the day
was the cool and clear
water. Irresistibly, in
the hot afternoon, many
of us dived straightaway
into the water to cool
ourselves down. Some
quickly went onto the
speedboat for
wakeboarding. Others
swam towards the sand
beach nearby after some
quick refreshment. Not a
single moment was
wasted. Everyone
cherished every moment
in this paradise on such
a perfect day. As usual,
happy time went by
speedily. After
mid-noon, we were
reluctant but ready to
set sail back to Central
Piers.

Feeling fresh, we
capitalized on the
return journey to make
our time worthwhile.
Drinking wine, and
eating fruits, cheese,
salami and crackers, we
sat on the upper deck
staring into the sunset
whilst our vessel
drifted into the
Victoria Harbour.
Surrounded by tall
buildings, we returned
to reality and
civilization with smiles
on our faces.
Thank you for supporting
the Warwick Boat Trip
and special thanks to
all the
executive-committee
members who helped to
make this event so
successful.
