We enjoyed our participation in the 4th Borneo
Cup. Andrew and Linda Richards joined us from Port Macquarie, and Steve
and Cheryl Evans flew up from Sydney. We had one race and the opening
events in Labuan, then the overnight passage race to Miri in Sarawak, followed
by 2 more races in Miri.
We had mixed (moderate? minor?) results, but it was
all good fun and Bondi Tram survived in one piece.
Opening Function
