Bora Bora Raft Up<br />
Bora Bora is one of those Pacific islands that most yachtsmen would want<br />
to visit. Although well developed as a tourist resort and becoming more so,<br />
it still captures the imagination and offers some really nice anchorages. As<br />
an example of making the world their <strong>Oyster</strong> this year, we hear three 66’s<br />
are heading for a Bora Bora rendezvous. David and Linda Hughes with<br />
Miss Molly, Stephen and Catherine Thomas with Magic Dragon and Brian<br />
Hall OBE with Forever Young are all expected to be there. Miss Molly and<br />
Magic Dragon (Hughes & Thomas) are planning to cruise to the Antarctic<br />
via Cape Horn – more of that in future editions.<br />

Purple X joins the COA<br />
Chinese New Year<br />
Macau Race 2004<br />
In spite of severe cold weather warnings, 37<br />
yachts turned out to brave the chilly<br />
conditions for this year’s COA Chinese New<br />
Year Macau Race, from Hong Kong to Macau<br />
and back, including the <strong>Oyster</strong> 49 Purple X<br />
owned by Raymond and Carolyn Lee.<br />
Despite a rather severe handicap and with a<br />
family crew on board, which included the<br />
Lee's two young sons, Purple X had a great<br />
race, but didn't feature in the prizes Sailing<br />
is a way of life for the Lee family, as later this<br />
year Joe and Jing Lee (aged 12 and 14) will<br />
be sailing for the Hong Kong youth team in<br />
the Laser 4.7 World Series in Italy and we<br />
wish them every success in that event.<br />
