Sail the Wolrd

Thousands of sailors celebrated last weekend, September 1 & 2, 2007, one hundred years of the International Sailing Federation (ISAF). It was encouraged that sailors from all levels, clubs, classes and associations all over the world come out on the water to honor the occasion. Pretty straightforward idea of a global party, isn’t it?

In the Philippines, several yacht clubs have signified to join in the celebration. One notable inland club was Taal Lake Yacht Club where I went to give my support. It was fun sailing indeed. A number of Hobie 16s, Toppers, A Hobie Bravo and of course my 2 Streakers sailed along the lakeshore of Talisay, the general plan. Then we all rounded Tin Can, the club’s rescue boat, with Cherry and Hermie strategically placed onboard to take pictures of this momentous occasion. Oh and Gaucho the dog was onboard too. It was very nice to see old friends and meet new sailors. I enjoyed eating the food of Doc Susan Cruz, again.

Many thanks to Peter Capotosto and Joe Hagedorn for organizing this memorable occasion for us. Here are more pictures taken on the water. Enjoy!
