So we are staying in a small hotel very close to the sailing club. Last night Jamie wanted to eat a horse so we had dinner at the local bar. This morning after breakfast we went to the club and met Mimi and Brooke. The worlds team decided that it would be best if Mimi trained with us so we all went and sorted the charter boats and rigs which took most of the morning. They are now in good order.
The good thing last night was that all the bags arrived safely and this morning the sail tube was in the club waiting for us.
Jamies flame thrower rope end sealer was great and everyone learnt some new tidy knots.
We had a Spanish lunch, rolls, ham, cheese and fruit and then went past the massive cruise liner into the estuary. It was a flat calm to start off with, and then a westerly sea breeze built for 2 hours in the afternoon which was great.Bocha was out with a small clinic, the Germans were out as were the Poles, Denmark,Italy, Singapore, Lithuania and some local sailors
It was really interesting, and after about 2 hours of tuning runs, sorting out luff tensions and mast rakes everyone was on the pace. We were on about 110.5, boom level with the water in the light conditions.
Check out the cruise liner in the background of the next pix
We have more training tommorrow before the racing starts on sunday morning, we are off to find some haggis for jamie.
More news soon. Alan
