ABW Dec 2019 -1

Watersports were on the scene to record the event. The day’s
events were well contested with some quick times recorded.
At the end of the day’s racing everyone began preparing
for the Halloween party and the presentation to the
winners. Most of the ladies spent the afternoon at hotels
like Elizabeth’s Hideaway at the Sandbar diligently putting
on makeup to complement their frocks and outfits, not
forgetting to dab a bit of makeup on their partner. With
the ladies looking suitably ravishing and the men a bit nonplussed
at all the fuss, everyone was ready for a night of fun
and festivity.
The evening got underway at 6:00pm with the presentation
of trophies to the winners of the day: Aragon took the Honors
in the Cruising Class, with Talang Gala coming Second and
Third place secured by Papaya 1. In the Multi Hull Division
we had Magayon II coming in First, Kerida Second and Soniya
holding Third place. In the Racing Class the speedy Vineta
secured First place with Esprit Second and Bellatrix Third.
After the awards it was down to partying with a mouthwatering
buffet menu, free flowing beer and fun galore where the
girls’ make up skills were well and truly showcased. As the
passing hours drew on into the late night, participants retired
to their hotels happy and looking forward to the final day of
racing in yet another memorable regatta.
The Sunday again saw good winds prevail, which further
increased the competitive spirit of the sailors. By now each
boat and crew had formed a greater understanding of the
course and the waters off Puerto Galera and knew the best
approach to the various marks. The final race ended shortly
