Hey Sailors!
Gotta see these awesome Maxi-Yachts surfing and pounding on the ocean swells. I've had experiences like this on my 13foot dinghy, but on 60+foot race boats?...It's absolutely extreme sailing!
Watch.

Race Ready
The 3rd of March will be the start of a series of races-one long passage from Manila Bay to Boracay and 7 from the 15th President's Cup Regatta to be held for the very first time in Boracay.
Expect a good number of international yachts in this events for the island itself lures even the most critical of sailors in the region.
Boats such as the Karakoa, see embeded video below, will be competing. And I am looking forward to meet my team mates again.
Took this video last year on our way back home from the Mnl-Bora Race. Enjoy.

Cailles Underground Layer
The following scenes transpired in the last 24hours. - love saying that!
Actually these shots were taken last week in Dong's Scooter Center during a pre-ride meeting of a loose group of vintage Lambretta and Vespa owners. Discover the legend, the underground shop and loads of cool running vintage two wheelers never before seen in the internet.
Lined up for a rare photo shoot, these scoots ride daily and were all restored (save caramel) here in Dong's shop.
One of Ron "Saso" Soriano's Vespa GS150. These baby is all genuine down to the rear rack and other accessories. The Vespa APE on the right is Dong's storage cabinet. Yes, it's parked by the curb.
Two cool Lambretta SX200, a Series2 and Caramel
Chrome to the bone. Jorge's LI150 Series2 was also painted in Filcarrozeria.
Fast and furious TOP GUN 200, its creators Eddie and Dong, and its owner, Jason Conde inspecting his steed. It's up for a much needed repainting after they have improved her power to 140KPH top speed. 
Red Series2 for sale.
Charlie, Ron and Jason having a colorfull conversation about cops and scoots.
After taking several pics at the scoots scattered around the street, we couldn’t resist but arrange them in formation for more photo ops. Notice almost all of them are vintage save the yellow and carramel PX's.
