From the South China Morning Post, Aug 16th....

Cross-border sailing to begin soon

Private boats will be able to enter Guangdong waters

A Hong Kong businessman operating a marina in a pilot development zone in Guangzhou expects a cross-border sailing scheme for private vessels suggested by Guangdong authorities to take effect soon.
Ian Fok Chun-wan said he hoped power boats and yachts would soon be able to travel freely between Hong Kong and Nansha.

This is not possible now because of legal restrictions.

G in Sweden... and maybe Phuket...

25knots at the start line. G on  Katusha (21), RC44 Sweden Cup.
G, our regular Bow on Xena in the King's Cup says he's hoping to be with us again, just subject to working out some work issues.  So I've got him down as a definite "maybe".
Also sends along the above photo, about which he says...  "also attached a little photo from our latest regatta in Sweden.  Was pretty breezy on the last day, this was us trying to start in 25knots and a very choppy sea! Went well though we finished up second."
Another phote of G on Katusha....  too much hard work!....
G works on his 6-pack up front.... more photos
