Over the weekend, I had the opportunity to attend two sailing events, the Mike Pike Memorial Trophy and the Borneo Optimist Championships which took place at the Royal Brunei Yacht Club in Serasa. Taking part in both events were sailors from Kota Kinabalu Yacht Club, Sarawak Sailing Association, Piasau Boat Club, Sandakan Yacht Club, and the Royal Brunei Armed Forces Sailing Club. It was an extremely HOT but awesome afternoon out on the water capturing these athletes trying to outdo each other! Thank you very much Kem and Andrew for your hospitality!
Splish splash!
