The finals of the Hobie Cat races took all morning. In the earlier races, the wind was very light and the racing quite mild but today, the wind had picked up and the races got intense. No one capsized and there were no collisions but some of the finishes were won by less than a foot - thus creating a lot of excitement. At the end, the winning team was the same couple whose catamaran had won the Malolo race yesterday. Obviously, racing skill must count for something.
In the afternoon, there was a competition for decorated dinghies where the kids displayed great creativity. Little Colin and Camilla from Coconuts won and were so, so cute.
The evening was packed with prize-giving for the events of the week plus a Fiji dancing show and another pig roast. While the mood was festive, it also had the overtone of departure and separation as all of the yachties have seen and traveled with other boats for the entire season and will soon be heading off on the final leg of their journey and may be going to different destinations.
