Ahoy, yachting world! The next week takes America's Cup start at Cascais, the most Southern corner of Portugal. We at Hungary have see-shores just over the borders of our country, still we our yachtmen are interested in such important sport events. Look at this video! It will not be a waist of your time!

A 43. Kékszalagon nem indultunk. Kapitányom, Zalai Gábor munkahelyi elfoglaltsága lehetetlenné tette, hogy a csütörtöki rajtra átszervezett versenyen elinduljunk. Így csak távolról követhettük a verseny alakulását.

A nagyszülők örömmel tudatják, a várakozások szerint egészségben megszületett Zalai Péter és Cili első gyermeke, Vilmos úrfi. Anya és gyermeke jól vannak, egészségesek.

Sok boldogságot kívánunk az egész családnak! Nagyra nőj Vilmos mindnyájunk örömére!
