Saturday in Vigo




Today we have been really busy, read on...........

Breakfast at 0830, it was still dark outside. We found a nice colour picture of most of the team in the national newspaper [ Matt and Jo were playing table tennis so didn't feature]. Then urban fitness at o930, which was interesting to say the least, check out the swimmer in the picture.




Press ups sit ups and star jumps watched out of a window by the local police.We went to the club at 1030 but some sailors forgot things and had to go back and get then- good lesson, they now have lists. Sailing from about 1030 until 1530,

Botcha was afloat just before us, and we sailied out in warm sunny conditions and sailed in an easterly wind of about 6-8 knots.
Jamie ate another horse for lunch which I had to take out specially in the RIB for him. It was a bit tricky as it was jumping about all over the place.


The rigs went forward and then as the wind died off moving them back again.


We were sailing on the north side of the bay, in what Jamie called it light Italian conditions so we did 67 speed /tuning runs, [well we did enough until even Jamie said enough was enough] then we towed in. Lots more sailors arrived during the day, so now there are about 450 boats here.



After sailing we washed the boats down, and then changed and caught the ferry to Congas, and went to the outdoor gym and then had a crepe before heading back to Vigo and dinner.

Just before dinner we went for a walk, and Jmaie ended up dancing to a drummer in a big square with lots of people watching! We had dinner in the same place we took Ben ad Tim Saxton and Claire Lasko to years ago, then went back, read the sailing instructions and went to bed. Ready to start racing on Sunday at 1100.


Oh yes just before bed time Milo, Jo and Jamie gelled their hair and Jamie thought he looked like Jedwood!


Bye for now
