Sitting here watching this and at the part with the boys climbing around the tub I found myself with a smile from ear to ear. Being a parent is mostly the same feeling for all parents but you two are giving your 2 boys a life so many will only dream about. It makes me smile and have a warm feeling to watch you guys share your life with somebody like me who is stuck at home with so much of life behind me. I feel blessed to be able to view your world for even a short time. Thank you so much

Hi! Beautiful video! As a student meteorology, let me explain why it is hazy over there😊it’s because in tropical areas the air is warm and can hold more moist. If the moist air comes in contact with the cooler ocean surface air, the water vapor condenses and creates fog. During daytime, the ocean surface warms up and the gradient between the cool surface and the warm air becomes less. This makes the fog eventually disappear! However, it is indeed the case that this happens more often in areas that are polluted, as the water vapour needs the pollution particles(cloud condensation nuclei) to form fog droplets .. Cheers from The Netherlands!

@rickkwitkoski1976 Жыл бұрын

Thank you. Yes. Hong Kong has days of this haze too. Much particulate pollution there. Some dimwit commented that it was "chemtrail spraying" 🤣🤣🤣

@johnnyuutah Жыл бұрын

This marine layer is common here in southern California where we have the cool air from the Pacific meeting the warm air from the inland desert, creating a fog about a mile in each direction from the coast. It most often happens as the weather warms from spring to summer and we refer to it as May gray and June gloom.

We were in Vietnam in 2014 for a month. We did the same water tour as you did. We were on a boat that looked very much like Legend 4. Loved our time there. ( I was there in 1968-1969 as a young soldier during the war). I went back for a healing trip and it was very humbling for me and wonderful to talk to the people and hear what they have accomplished since the end of the war. I wish I had not had to do, what I was sent there to do. Vietnam will always have a place in my heart. It is an absolutely fantastic place with very friendly people. Thank you for the refresher and the beautiful video.

The pollution put a big damper on our experience - so much styrofoam in the water and the water looked oily in certain lighting (we wouldn’t let our kid swim in it during the kayaking experience). And the overall haze that is probably part weather, part pollution if you go by the air quality websites. For the price of the boat excursion, I would actually not recommend visiting here due to the pollution. Glad you all had a better experience! But it seems a pretty common thing to encounter on these trips based on our guide’s advance warnings and something to make others aware of.
