Chumphon to Hau Hin
... we did not do well: by the time we realised we were late…it was too late! And we got a 5 sec penalty…
With this short distance and the early start we arrived at the Sofitel (by the seaside) at around 2 pm, so again, time for a light meal by the pool…
PS. When results were out we retook 2nd place, behind the Norwegian Alvis of Jan and Jan. Michael and Sarah broke the Jag's clutch and did not clock in on time on arrival and were thus heavily penalised...

A quiet day in Cha Am
