Volvo Ocean Race

been there for a small scout day demo stall targeted just for ONE degree 15 club members and residents there...


overall our booth was quite smooth sailing, performance of the boys was terrible but not unexpected.

our even was kind of overshadowed by the volvo ocean race, as today was the only day they are open to the public for the whole day....as such more people flock over to their grounds than our booth...


irregardless the volvo ocean race is really a sight to behold...the race boats all kept at the pier looks simple but in reality the can make speed on the high seas up to 50 nautical miles per hour which is close to 92.6 kilometers per hour....thats speeding on high ways liao...


they showed real life clips where one of the race boats was cruising nicely at 30 nautical miles per hour and suddenly with a change of wind they accelerated into what was close to a 52 nautical miles per hour....i dont think any roller coaster can provide that kind of thrill....


putting that aside the ocean race so far has seen the deaths of 2 participants...all unfortunate incidents...but nonetheless to be able to participate in the race successfully itself is already a very big reward....


after looking at the exhibits i really wanted to race on one of the ships before i die...seriously...all the dangers and hazards only serve to make me feel more wanting for this thing....its a kind of excitement and exhilaration that i cannot really explain but i just like it...talk about love on first sight...lol



i will want to race on it from the start to the finish....that will be one of my wishes i want to seen full filled before i pass on...



but today see all the sails reminded me of somethings...wish she was there with me and that i could have realized my mistake...but then thats just my wish...



life still goes on inevitably...haha you would have moved on too right?
