Across the nation, Heroes Day is celebrated through<br />
parades and processions through the streets in<br />
honor of the heroes of the Revolution. There are<br />
also fireworks displays and events at local shrines.<br />
In Subic Bay, it is celebrated with a sailing regatta organized<br />
by Subic Bay Sailing. And with Jerry Rollin again officiating<br />
the race.<br />
Although the weather was not kind, with heavy rains,<br />
overcast conditions, and little wind, 7 yachts braved the<br />
elements to join in the fun of sailing and celebrate the<br />
day. Competing this year were; 1. Belatrix - Jun Villanueva<br />
(Punta Fuego) 2. Buckle Up - Paul Lane (Subic) 3. Hurricane<br />
Hunter - Albert Altura (Manila Yacht Club) 4. Ikapati - Hans<br />
Woldring (Subic) 5. Karakoa - Rey Ordoveza (Subic) 6.<br />
Misty Mountain - George Hackett (Subic) 7. Selma Star -<br />
Jun Avecilla (Subic).<br />
