We have great racing in Hong Kong, but so often we can't see the scenery at all. The atmospherics just don't cut the mustard. I have to bring my camera to Phuket on regular visits (hooray!) just to make sure that the clever electronics inside can still see blue stuff. They can, and here's the proof.

Quite apart from being another great day's racing, the last day of the Six Senses Evason Phuket Raceweek was a feast for the eyes, and ought to be good reason for every one of this year's competitors to come back next year, and more than sufficient encouragement to anyone who hasn't 'done' this regatta before. As the man said, "What's not to like?"
