[shri]

If you cannot find Hillian, may be the reporter from Macau Times or SCMP might be able to forward your info to her.

This is the guy who swam from HK to Macau.

Check your life and health insurance terms before departure.

The outrigger clubs are run by approachable people, they do it for because they're nutty sportspeople and not because there's money in it.

Your experience are in places where the maritime "rules of the road" are generally observed. Not necessarily the case in mainland waters. Some of those boat and ships can go whichever way they like with improper or no lighting at all. Don't have expectations they will yield or dodge you.

I would ignore any posters when it comes to safety unless they've actually got significant experience managing self powered craft around the waters here.

Geo is full of armchair experts, sometimes without any practical experience whatsoever. I recall a hiking thread where someone else was convinced that HK is full of deadly fauna or that hikers would get blown off cliffs by random typhoons.

I've just googled about swimming across and found this article that references someone who's paddled across solo on an outrigger. So it's been done before.
Best appraoch would be to find Shu Pu who is cited in the article.

I'm a boater. So you can safetly ignore a certain prior poster's warning. He has no credibility. Beware that certain posters here have an agenda to attack and undercut other posters.

See what I mean, hike, the above is a clear example of what I said. The last person you should listen to on here is the above poster. Trust me, he does nothing but trolls people on here (not to mention confusing one poster for another ). Calling him an idiot would be a compliment. He makes Trump look like the most credible human on earth.

Contact the Marine Department, ask them about leaving HK waters, entering PRC waters, leaving PRC waters, entering MO waters and so on.

The bridge still has a major few shipping lanes crossing over it (the submerged section for example), so plenty of container traffic to be wary of.
