Hindsight is always clearer; as in every sport, teams are going over the "what if"s.
|
|
|
|
|
|
But this is more than just a sport. It is part of something more, a culture, a way of living. Winning or losing is immaterial, participating is what counts. In years to come, few will remember who won or lost, but everyone will remember being there. |

After the sailing crews, it's the cooks' time to shine. As anyone experienced in sea fare, the ship's cook is the most important person on a ship; the better the cook, the happier the crew. Clouds of steam and smoke, as cooks hustle to show off their prowess.

| The prize awarding ceremony; to both paticipants and organizers, praise from experienced regatta referees with hundreds of similar events below their belt is of greater value, a recognition of their efforts and a job well done.

While only having one ship in the race, Luka's greatest conribution were the singers whose songs graced the evening celebrations. |
