Greece for Food Lovers- Editor H2ONotes [ 4/23/2008 - 11:20 ] # 
By Bernadette Bernon
If you like awesome sailing, extraordinary food, and great drama, this
voyage has it all. Like Odysseus of Greek mythology, we'll sail from
one legendary island in the Cyclades, and one adventure, to another,
visiting the exquisite Mykonos, Tinos, Santorini, Naxos, Ios, and more.
We'll wander through spectacular white-washed villages; take walks
through picturesque groves of two-century-old olive trees; sail past
the dramatic Temple of Poseidon; and explore some of the most important
historical sites in the world—Delos, the Sanctuary of Apollo, Point
Sounian, and open-air amphitheaters that have hosted Greek dramas for a
thousand years.

America's Cup: Life after Cahn. What happens next?- Editor H2ONotes [ 4/7/2008 - 18:15 ] #  The
America’s Cup again made it to Court on Thursday (NZT). This time one
the question of when the Match should be sailed. The arguments have
been gone over many times by the PR and legal teams for both sides.
However the tough question is what will happen next?
Justice
Herman Cahn seems to be sticking closely to the Mercury Bay decision –
in that the role of the Court is to interpret the Deed of Gift against
the actions of the parties – and confirming or denying compliance.

Strewth 'rolls home': Rolex China Sea Race 2008- Editor H2ONotes [ 3/24/2008 - 10:57 ] #  A
very wet and weary Strewth crew appeared out of the murk at Causeway
Bay, Hong Kong, at 1500hrs today, accompanied by the faithful guard
ship Cloud, the RHKYC’s Kellett VI, and RIB M69.
It was
easy to tell which of the two yachts motoring up the harbour was
Strewth – the one with the pronounced roll. Just 36 hours earlier she
had lost her keel approx 170 nm south east of Hong Kong, en route to
Subic Bay in the Rolex China Sea Race 2008.
