  1. This is a very informative article, Nihal. Wonderful the photos: the visitors, those impressive ships, the blue sky, the splendid sea in the sunshine, all is so beautiful! Surely, I'll follow you on board at Regatta on May 30!
    Hot weather (too hot for me!) here as well.
    Have a pleasant Sunday :-)
