Fred to DB Day Trip
Come to think about it; if I were to paddle from Fred's to DB in a day, that would make it a day-trip, which means I won't have to bring extra water and camping gears...!
It turns out, if I don't go around the Islands east of On Gong Chau, and if I don't go over to Lamma, I can trim the route down to 70Km.
Wow, that suddenly seems like such a good idea!
