Hi There,

These maybe what's being called 'noodle boats' in the area.  A few years ago they appeared to be still a couple of them.  One of them may have come ashore last year on the Apleichau side and opened a shop.

These 'Noodle boats' would shuttle around the shelter for business.  Back in those days they may be a certain way to summon them.  The modern day version, if they still exist, likely has a cell phone number somewhere.

Thanks Thomas.  I remember seeing them in various typhoon shelters - especially Causeway Bay.  Andrew
