Lexington - Tonga Prize Giving Party



We had the usual prize giving party that is at the end of a leg. It is just a good excuse to have a party and give a few prizes. It is usually a festive atmosphere as everyone is anxious to get on with the next leg. I will add a photo of three of our sailors who decided to get a Fiji cloth ( lava lava ) which is a wraparound skirt that Tongan men wear. One fella even had his boat logo put on the bottom edge. The biggest news is that we won two prizes. We guessed closest to our arrival time and came in first in our division.  I am sure there are much better sailors in our group but we had a pretty good sail with winds that were strong enough to make our twin head sails work well. We also gained a little by being able to sail directly on the rhumb line (straight line to the destination).  May fair winds fill your sails with prizes! Bob
