We were first up for measurement this morning and outside of a few minor hiccups we breezed right through. Everyone's boat but Ceci's was too light and organizers had 20 gram wooden blocks that could be caulked on the inside of the bow to make up for the shortage, boats ranged from 20-80g light. The venue is now all a buzz as more countries have arrived, for us being here early means we are already measured and settled into our surroundings which is great.
After some delicious hamburgers at the Club, the kids went out to train. There was a single race organizers had put on around 3.30 and BER sailed in that with a bunch of other countries. It was shifty and although all sailed well, it was Mikey that finished with a top 10. Martin has seen improvement from all each day as they become more confident with the understanding of the conditions.
Kids are loving the short ride home in the back of the truck each day. They wave and call out "hola" to everyone they see. Tonight sadly is our last night in the charming and comfortable Hotel Del Casco. There are mixed reports coming from those already ensconced in the official accommodation so we will have to wait and see what is in store for us!!
Tomorrow is forecast for lighter winds and warmer temperatures so far the only reliable info as been the temperatures so no one is sure when the seasonal light winds will arrive.
