Indeed it was a very special event that started at the Caylabne Marina, where participants were greeted with the cheery music of drum beaters and a delectable breakfast. Following the program, was a rally headed to Santelmo Cove, also known as “Little Boracay,” a picturesque destination with exclusive white sand beaches, and clear waters. After Santelmo Cove, the sailors continued to the next destination: Long Beach, Punta Fuego for an afternoon of family fun, social activities, and cocktails amidst the summer sunset. The sailing adventure continued on the next day, heading from Long Beach to Terrazas De Punta Fuego for more fun activities including beach games and a barbecue dinner with the Fire Bender fire dancers for entertainment.
The Philippine leg of the Lagoon World Escapade also achieved a milestone. The event had the most number of Lagoon catamarans participating in the circular mooring activity, which was joined by a fleet of 17 Lagoons.
