but not when the sea is turning red,
beaches here in Kuantan have been deserted mostly
because of the year end monsoon season
but the red runoff is really rubbing salt to the wound.
It's a relief to hear of the 3 months suspension of bauxite activities
and let's hope that it will finally bring some good news
to the worried folks of Kuantan.
Sg Balok getting dyed.
At the Balok rivermouth,the reddish color is quite obvious
is seen here flowing along the beach south swept by the currents
towards Balok beach and Batu Hitam(~5km away).

It wouldn't be a problem for this kite surfer
that's if he can continuously stay above water.
