Just a quick note from my iPad, as the hotel wifi is not working and I can't post photos, to say:

A. Some more photos -- I'll post when I get Internet access, which won't be till Thursday, so come back then to check them out.

B. Pete Sorenson, skipper of "Baby Tonga", instigated the "TongZena Cup" (mis-spelling of both names one of those local Thai "lost in translation" moments), which he presented to us on stage at the Prize giving last night. A gracious and thoughtful gesture. He told us "don't hang on to it too tight, we're coming to take it back at King's Cup!".
Photos of the Cup and party on Thursday, if not before.
Cheers to all crew and safe journeys home!
