Racing in Singapore

The crew love it riding the rail in 20 knots of wind. Who says the sailing in Singapore is dull?

David Ross's gorgeous Swan 53 came charging up when the wind filled in and we held him up as long as possible. Here they try going over us, but couldn't make it. Finally Dave steered Frangipangi Girl down and they blew through our lee to finish ahead. Good racing!

After we finished we opened a few cans of beer and had a nice sail to the rendezvous. Does this crew look like they are having fun? I'll say!

Reclaimation Bay

We arrived at the small bay in Singapore's "reclaimed land" where Frangipangi Girl was already moored and we wondered, "How sweet is this?"

Volleyball

Judy waits for the set-up that never happens as Phil Blake blocks the shot into the sand. See the ships in the background? That's Singapore now as it always has been; I remember the roadstead full of anchored ships from my first visit in 1971 and it never has changed.

Beach Party

While the others played volleyball, we had a good hamburger barbeque and drank some beer. Can it get any better?

Medhi came aboard and immediately found himself at home on the foredeck. We can use him. Hope he can come often.

Lucas
Chris brought his son Lucas, and Lucas was great: no complaints and no problems, even when the boat was on it's ear. Plus, when I told him I was the captain and he had to follow Captain's orders, he said "Ok" and did it. We like him.
He slept on the deck all the way home.
