Wings' Crew-King's Cup 2007

This is an international crew we have collected over the last couple of years. Three of these people sailed with Judy and I in Hong Kong: Andy Kung (Swiss-Kiwi), Marco Wevers (Holland/Singapore), Tessa B(Holland/Singapore). The others, Tobias Ruff(Germany/Singapore) Jenni Clark(Australia/Singapore), Euan Wilcox(Australia/Singapore), Pierre-Yves Hadmar(France/Singapore), & Bob Wojda(USA) are sailors who joined us in Singapore. All of us are expats in Asia, so by definition we travel a bit. For that reason people miss race dates and practices. To fill in during these absences last year we had several other great crew all of whom we wish we could have brought to Phuket, including Mike Lim, Brendon McNiven, Ana Famula, Godwin Bonvia, Richard Peel, Richard Lamble.

We love all of these folks, and they are great sailors.

Sail By on King's Birthday

On Wednesday the fleet celebrated the King's Birthday by saluting his representative aboard a Thai Navy ship. The whole fleet sailed by the anchored navy vessel and the crews lines the rail to give the salute. Many crews wore yellow clothing but we were unprepared for this, so we donned yellow ties for the salute. Afterwards we sailed to the starting area for the day's race.

BBQ by the Crew

Pierre and Jenni and the crew organized a party and BBQ at Pierre's rented house and we all showed up for good food and companionship. They surprised us with a gift which turned out to be some wonderful Bose speakers for the boat, which we needed a lot.

It was a great party.
