> Here's additional information I've gleaned from a closer reading of the
> yacht race document I was sent. Evidently the April 19-23rd dates I gave
> originally were for boats heading to the Philippines *after* the Hong Kong
> race. The actual China Sea Hong Kong Yacht race has just started, and the
> weather broadcast schedule is below.
>
> I have to presume that the times given are Hong Kong local time (see
> http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/city.html?n=102 for latest HK time
and
> info). Hong Kong is UTC +8 hours, so if 0833 is UTC, then the weather
> forecast would be in late afternoon... not much help to the yacht crews,
as
> they would nearly be done with racing for the day. 0833 local time makes
> much more sense to inform participants before setting sail. I could not
find
> any specific information positively indicating local time rather than UTC,
> however.

> Date            Time Time
>  8th April 2004 1833

> 11th April 2004 0833 1833
> 12th April 2004 0833

> The times above work out to 0033 and 1033 UTC.
