Day 2
We woke up, rearing to go! Today was suppose to be the practice race, where we wld meet our competitors for the first time, and see where we stood. After another hearty brunch (why can't we ever wake up in time to hv breakfast?) of homecooked thai food, we hitched a ride to our anchored boat and set abt rigging her up! Far off in the distance, we saw a few of the other Platus already sailing around the bay, and we thought we were early! =P

The Thais were buzzing ard busily, ferrying sailors all over the place, trying to find thier boats. We could feel the anticipation mounting. So who would hv expected that the practice race would have been cancelled? Not I, that's for sure. Can you imagine the disappointment? Grrrr... so once again, we just sailed around the bay, trying to identify the various islands that would mark the route for our passage race the next day.

Later in the noon, a few more boats came out to play, so we had a bit of fun covering each other. Same old thing, nothing much to cover, and then it was off for dinner with Capt Awoot.

Believe it or not, the dinner took 5 HOURS!!! No Bluff!!! We at the restaurent till past 12! heh... I've been told that Thai dinners usually last that long...

That wraps up day 2 of the Coronation Cup. Hv to say though... the food there is GOOD!!! *drools* Personal faves include the gai jiao moo sap (omelette with minced pork) and tok man kung (fried shrimp cake). Talk abt YUM! hahaha... had that omelette thingy almost everyday!!! for breakfast, lunch, dinner... =P

next update coming up soon...
