The team managed a short training session yesterday as the wind conditions remained light all day.
The same conditions faced the team this morning as they waited patiently without a puff of wind. The wind finally picked up at 4pm and the team is out training now until late. The temperature is slightly warmer today too.
The yacht club has very good facilities. There is a large locked storage area available for each team in which they can store their bags and gear while out sailing and it is big enough for their sails to be left there overnight. There is plenty of space for all of the optis and a good launching area. The restaurant at the club is good and there is also table tennis to help pass the time.
Algarrobo is clearly a weekend town catering to the visitors from Santiago. The restaurants and supermarkets are closed during the week which is bit frustrating as the official event and official catering does not start until Thursday. We are therefore relying on the club and hotel for dining options. There is very little English spoken here and so we have to ask for everything in Spanish, this is working out OK with only a few misunderstandings so far.
We are expecting some stronger winds for tomorrow.
