January and February served up weather cold enough to keep all but the hardiest of sailors holed up
inside, in front of a warm fire. Let’s hope that, as we move into spring, Hong Kong will give us a little
more sun, a little less humidity and a spring in our step!
In this issue, find out what it is that Commodore Mark Ashton actually does (page 12), how a little of
your help can go a long way to raise money for the Development Fund For Youth Sailing (page 21),
and how three of Hebe Haven Yacht Club’s finest young sailors found themselves in the wrong place
and without a boat when attending the High Performance Camp (page 26).
Stephen Becket and Karen Curtis recount the tale of how they came to be in possession of a derelictyet-charming boat, and the peaks and troughs along the vessel’s journey back to its former glory (page
46). Andy Sugden tells of his experience on the day of the treasure hunt & quiz on Boxing Day, and
shares the lyrical mastery displayed by the teams (page 52).
Last, but not least, Cathy Delany-Hobbs shares the recipe for a soup sure to keep you warm through
the—hopefully—last few days of the chill (page 62).
We are pleased to inform you that getting your anecdotes and announcements in Hebe Jebes is now
easier than ever. For all those wishing to become a full-fledged published writer, simply forward your
stories and photos to Virginia Chan: [email protected], and you could get them in the next issue.
