Well, another year has flown by and was great to see. That sailing is<br />
back with a vengeance. And with the addition of the BPI Signature<br />
Series, makes the calendar even more attractive for 2024.<br />
We revisited Palawan this edition mainly to see the changes made<br />
since the pandemic, and to check out the new proposed marina and<br />
yacht club, which will be an awesome addition to sailing in Palawan<br />
and the Philippines if they get it right. It will take a couple of years<br />
to fruition but will be a great asset, at the moment the developers<br />
are looking for private investors.<br />
We have a full sailing book for 2024 with a lot of exciting events<br />
happening.<br />
In our next edition we will be looking at Talisay in Batangas as the<br />
destination, so watch out for that. In the meantime, as we close<br />
off this year, <strong>ABW</strong> Publishing would like to wish all our advertisers,<br />
readers, and supporters a great festive season and a prosperous 2024.<br />
