ANOTHER WEEKEND OF TRUNDLING OUR HOUSE AROUND A WET RACE TRACK. IT IS QUITE INTERESTING VIEWING OTHER YACHTS FROM THE BACK....AND FROM THE FRONT AS THEY RETURN TOWARDS THE FINISH WITH THEIR SPINNAKERS FLYING.
WE NOW HAVE FORMULATED A RACE PLAN.......AS THE FIRST BOAT PASSES US ON THEIR HOMEWARD COURSE WE TURN AROUND AND TURN ON THE MOTOR. SO WE PASS THE START LINE AND THE FINISH LINE BUT WE NEVER GET TO SEE THE TURNING BUOY........
WHILE THE FAST YACHTS HAVE THEIR CREW HANGING ONVER THE SIDE WE ARE SIPPING COFFEE.....
HERE IN MOKPO WE WERE MEANT TO DO AN OFF SHORE RACE TO JEJU BUT UNFORTUNATELY THE SIDE EFFECTS OF THE CURRENT TYPHOON MEANT THIS WAS CANCELLED ...SO INSTEAD WE DID AN INSHORE AWAY FROM LAND (I KNOW, I KNOW) RACE.
THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME MOKPO MARINA HAD HELD THIS EVENT SO THERE WERE A FEW TEETHING TROUBLES BUT SOME THINGS THEY DID EXTREMELY WELL. EACH DAY WE RECIEVED LUNCH BOXES AND THE OPENING AND CLOSING CEREMONY DINNERS WERE FANTASTIC.
WE HAVE HAD A LOVELY TIME MEETING NEW PEOPLE...RUSSIANS, SINGAPORE, INDONESIA,CHINESE,CANADIANS,ENGLISH...THIS WAS TRULY AN INTERNATIONAL EVENT
FOR THE NEXT WEEK OR TWO WE SHALL DO A BIT MORE EXPLORING AND THEN IT IS BACK TO MOKPO TO LEAVE CHARIOTEER AND WE WILL BE HOMEWARD BOUND FOR TWO MONTHS OF HUGS AND CUDDLES ...CAN'T WAIT.
