SUBIC BAY<br />

Words by BARRY DAWSON<br />

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 />
