Barge?

english translation
You might have heard of it (maybe not) but a 8-signal typhoon went to hongkong last week. Fortunately, Hongkong people are used to it, so everybody went inside and wait.
Yet, it wasen't THAT insignificant. Proof with pictures: the beached boat on Lamma.
It's raining, I get refuge under the barge's stern; note that the barge diden't have any engine nor rudder. The crew sure had fun during the typhoon, with absolutely no control of their ship.
I know that 2 persons already went on board, but I still hesitate to join them in front of the rope's ladder; finally, I climb.
The sailors then shout at me to get down : I guess they thought I was another scavenger.
The barge, as you see it from the path to the beach. On the background, the power station it belongs and the beach.
A real floating factory, too bad I cannot climb to sketch.
This boat won't go away for sure! Unless another storm take it.
En désespoir de cause, je vais essayer de mettre la vidéo de Waiyim kekpart, histoire de vous laisser juger de la force du typhon (nan passke qqaund même, j'y étais!)
EDIT: la voilà!

Salut Philippe !
ehbendisdonc !! Rentre immédiatement chez ta mère!!!! Ici, pas de barges fantômes ni de pirates aux dents acérées qui veulent ta peau.
Sérieusement, tes aquarelles sont vraiment de plus en plus sympas. J'aime bien le côté carnet de voyage, tu devrais continuer c'est vraiment très agréable à regarder.
On a des journées de dingue et on profite de chaque minute libre pour regarder grandir Nicolas qui trouve chaque jour une nouvelle raison de nous faire prendre un fou rire. Il a 20 mois mais on dirait qu'il a deux ans passés, il est vraiment grand. J'ai hâte que tu le rencontres à nouveau.
on t'embrasse tous les 3.
Sandra
