You're a brave man, Alan. Lammaites are freaking out on Facebook about this Red Tide on Hung Shing Yeh beach these two days. Paraphrasing them:

"VERY TOXIC! Keep your dogs, kids, loved ones OUT of that water, please. Close the beach!"

Just came back, only a tiny amount of the red close to the beach.
The rest, the usual murky green brown.

Yesterday it was red like Roz's photo all over the bay.

Powerstation beach water was blood red earlier this morning. Looked like a blood bath.

Alan, some people are concerned about your health after your epic Red Tide Swim in SSL956's charmingly named "blood bath"? SSL956 seems to play too many computer games?

Alan, are you still alive and feeling OK? Really? No weird symptoms from some of the insidious neurotoxins? Hallucinations, weird dreams, involuntary facial contortions and other neurological symptoms? Growing gills might come in handy for a regular swimmer...

Creaky joints, missing teeth, blurred vision, tinnitus, greying hair.
But I had all those before I went in.

There are a million different kinds of algae. Some you can barely notice visually have a vicious sting, presumably toxin, that makes swimming unendurable. This latest red tide is visually dramatic but didn't even have a noticeable odour.
Maybe it's a new variety from Daya Bay and I'll form a cocoon and wake up as Godzilla.

I do have a list of bad guys I'd like to use some atomic breath on ... but best if I'm not more specific.
