Typing this in my apartment in Hung Hom Bay, directly across from the Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club’s Kellett Island HQ, I can see that Day 2 of the annual Spring Regatta is in full swing.  Judging from the angle of some of the boats, it looks as if they are again experiencing great conditions for some exciting sailing.

Yesterday, it was T-shirts, shorts and big smiles today for the first day of the RHKYC Spring Regatta. 

Sunshine and 18 knots of easterly breeze were provided to blow away the cobwebs during the around-the-cans race in the Eastern waters of the Harbour. Given the faultless conditions, the Race Officer, Simon Boyde, selected a Club start, treating spectators on the balcony to the sight of 93 boats in eight starts.
