Lamma Island ( www.lamma.com.hk ) is situated 2 miles south of HongKong Island and separated by an Eastern Lamma Channel. Non -stop  marine traffic of container carries, fishing vessels, smagling sampans and US Navy entertains the view as well as makes Eastern Lamma Channel  the  bisiest in the world . The last remarkable issue was a departure of USS RONAL REAGAN (CVN-76) with escort of 4 ships and a submarine .
