Day 6 - training

Another nice day here in Algarrobo with clear skies and winds at 10 knots this morning increasing to 15.

 

There were no issues at measurement last night and the team enjoyed its first official meal.  It was a rather bland and salty dish but the boys enjoyed it.  They will be craving steak again soon as they have probably been spoiled in the first few days of restaurant eating.

 

It is Friday and so the town has finally opened up ready for the weekend crowd…just as we have no need for restaurants and supermarkets.  The supermarkets here are big but there is very little food in them.  We are definitely spoilt in Bermuda in comparison.

 

The team will be out training for the afternoon until 4pm.  Then it is back to the hotel for the opening ceremony.  The teams will be walking from the hotel to the club (about a 10 minute walk) and so they should enjoy that.  We have problem here with stray dogs that are for the most part very friendly but they are annoying and we expect that we will be accompanied by a few of these.  No doubt the locals will be out as it will be a pretty exciting event for Algarrobo.  Will post photos later.
