The 2007 Phuket Kings Cup Regatta

The Thailand's Royal Navy are planning a spectacular sail past in honor of the King Bhumibol Adulyadej's 80th birthday at the 2007 Phuket Kings Cup regatta. King Bhumibol Adulyadej is the Patron of the annual regatta, which runs from December 1-8.
Over 1,000 sailors will take part in Phuket King's Cup Regatta and on Wednesday morning (December 5th) the record fleet of more than 100 yachts will sail past Royal Navy vessels to mark the King's birthday.
In the evening there will be a toast to the King on the Kata beach front, with everyone wearing their yellow shirts and with many holding yellow candles. The evening function will be co-coordinated, as in past years, with many similar tributes held throughout Thailand.

Hello Mr.Jeff:)
Man, Christmas is coming FAST!! Still gotta get by Don + Nancy`s house for the now annual setting up of their train around the Christmas tree. It is one of my happy Christmas traditions:) Then, there is the arrival of Dawn`s sister and sig-others arrival on the 20th. Steve and I put a new roof on the RV and I still need to get the AC put back into place so as to give us all privacy during their 2-week stay........Our tree is up thanks to Home Depot`s thoughtfull choice of pre-decorated trees. (white/clear lights, 7.5ft really thick tree with seeming ice(not snow)on the tips of most branches, and pine cones(with snow:) Ya know though Jeff, keep your eye on the prize. You are on a once on a lifetime journey. One Christmas away when we are all a keystroke away should not pose much room for Holiday Blues to occupy, rather it should be more a time to reflect of all you have to bring back with you on your return than what you imagine that you are doing without in the present. Get my thought Sir?:):):):) I`m built the same way and have to take the extra time to come up with a different angle to keep....my "Eyes on the prize":):):):) Enjoy every minute Sir:) OH, and it was very thoughtfull of those THAIS
to think enough of me to call my name out on the side of their Sailboat!!!! I AM IMPRESSED!!! Thank-you for that!!!! till next time Jeff, your friend, NoMow
