sbk Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 Just to add, I have heard Chaloklum is getting slammed, once again. A yearly occurrence over there. We are on the leeward side of the island so only have high tides, so far (fingers crossed!). Some boats are still running, Lomprayah Catamaran, Haadrin Queen are both running and the Raja Ferry is apparently, running a passenger trip as the waves are too high to dock the ferry to let off vehicles.
