Excited by the prospect of sailing in the 25 knots that blew all week long, Windsurfers gathered to battle it out for the Governors cup in three divisions. 

The fickle wind played  tricks as it often does, however, and the only thing positive about the first day was the party that night! 

Fortunately, by Sunday afternoon, there ws enough wind to hold a race. But wouldn't you just know it!. The course and timing set the fleet to cross the Hobie fleet as the Hobies rounded their windward mark! Did anybody get any pictures of that!??  About a dozen windsurfers sailing at right angles thru a fleet of  16 Hobies!  It was exciting- not to mention noisy out there!! 

In the end, the results stood as follows: 
 
 

Class A:  1st : Orly Francisco  2nd : Verg Bayani  3rd :Ralph Francisco    Class B :  1st : Guillermo Rosi  2nd : TJ Parpan  3rd : Patrick Guttierrez  Class C:  1st : George Villacorta  2nd : Govert Versluis  3rd : Danny Viceo

 

Windsurfing is growing stronger than ever in Lake Taal. Sponsor Fragrant Harbor Magazine publisher David Robinson seemed  pleased to note the healthy development of the sport in an area that has tremendous tourism potential.  

Soon, Fragrant Harbour will be available for sale at TLYC.
