Photos submitted by a regular ferry passenger. He writes:

"I was on the 10.30 ferry this morning and saddened to see the graffiti in the back row of seats on the upper deck getting out of control.

Why doesn't the ferry company either catch these vandals via CCTV, and prosecute them, then make them clean up the mess. The graffiti has been growing there for a few years and is obviously school kids. Why the ferry company has not removed it by now is a mystery to me."

Responses we can soon expect:

Don't start a war with the locals. It will backfire.

You're new here. Don't pretend to be shocked. Where you come from, this stuff actually covers your house.

Live and let live, that's the Lamma style.

You can always move to another seat. This is just the back row, starboard, on only one of the boats.

If you don't like it, leave. Try DB and see if you like their very clean little toy town, including the cost of the graffiti free ferry. La Costa, precisely.

Could you take better photos? I want to try more of those phone numbers.

The visiting art professor:

This is better than Banksy!! Don't touch it; it's a folk art form. These kids need to express themselves. If you supress it, their energy will have a negative focus, and they will turn into vandals.

The visiting religious leader:

On Lamma, everyone gets the ferry they deserve.

The visiting right-wing economist:

What do you expect? There's only one company working the route. Try competition. Start your own ferry company.

The visiting PR consultant:

Needs more voice overs saying in a stilted plummy twang:
"We hope you have a pleasant journey."

Thanks Kalistofa, you've refined the art of criticising contributors to the Forum before they've made a post.

You're very keen to discourage, thanks.

News from our ferry correspondent:

"Thank you very much for your help. I was amazed this morning to see one of the sea crew out wiping seats! I wondered if this was an amazing coincidence, but smiled thinking how we might have made a difference for all travellers! I will check that link out and submit it to them also."

Pure coincidence or is somebody in the ferry company actually reading this Lamma Ferries forum? I wonder...

speaking on a slightly different subject, is anyone experiencing really rocky ferries that are making you sick or nauseous? Never had it before but now it just seems neverending. I know the weather is very blustery but i've lived here for years and this is the first time I've experienced this. Sorry if it seems a bit soppy to say but i do live on this island and have to take the ferries everyday, so just wanted to know if anyone is feeling the same. And yes i do know we are subject to the elements...

I think it's just blusteriness. The Macau ferry was absolutely hellish on Monday night, a whole hour of non-stop leaping and crashing.
