Pine Needles Us: King's Cup Day Five

"Sunset on our dreams?" (oh dear...).  Jude, aka "Bucket" photo
of Kata beach last night, south end looking to the regatta boats.

Well, we didn't quite make it...

Last day and two races, one a windward/leeward and one an islands course.  Fine winds of 10-knot-ish..

The short story: we got a third and a second, while Pine Pacific scored two firsts, to beat us into second place by three points.  They sailed well and deserved the win: full marks to them.

General consensus: best King's Cup ever for us, with close racing and exciting duels with the other X-55 in the race, Pine Pacific, and even catching Titania sometimes...

After an arvo in the pool by the beach at the Kata resort with Bicky, Jing, Bucket and TC, I'm here waiting to go to meet the King's Representative to pick up our third place prize.
