@1godamn

if there re rough sea condition, the services will be suspended. Only the typhoon season in summer may see rough sea.

i dont get it. how do jetfoil boats work?

[SamsungFuzzMuffin]

Basically, think of a jetfoil as one big wing on a plane. A wing is designed so that air passing underneath the wing lifts the plane up while air passing over top of the wing keeps the plane steady. A jetfoil propels itself forward using a motor underwater. As it moves, the same things which happen to a wing happen to a jetfoil. The boat is lifted out of the water so that it can move faster, but it stays balanced because the air passing over the boat keeps it in place. Pretty cool right?

It doesnt even bounce up and down like all the other boats.
