36 people participated in today's outing.
While Signal No. 3 was up just last Friday, the weather in the morning was reasonable, giving us a chance to visit 2 tern islands in Mirs Bay.
Unfortunately, we were forced to cancel the afternoon route due to rough sea and heavy rain.
We finished at Ma Liu Shui.
