Once up and moving the plan was firmly established and a train ride to the Parque de la Costa along with the AHO team was set. A quick bite at a small cafe with 'submarino' drinks, hot milk with a melted chocolate bar! Delicious!! Not enough tourists so train was cancelled which was too bad as the train seemed to add to the adventure. Anyway the Parque was filled with tons of rides and all thoroughly enjoyed the day. It was nice to disconnect from sailing and run around and have fun. Bought churros filled with dulce de leche to close the day, there is no shortage of sugary treats here. Dinner at the Club and back for an early night.
Cooler temperatures and a bit more wind to start Day four. Wind was around 7 building to not much more than 12 by day's end. Organizers had scheduled two races for today. Conditions saw the current play a factor along with puffy breezes. Although the team's results were not terrible, they were however a disappointment as all the sailors did not capitalize on some very strong positions rounding the top mark. Both Ceci and Mikey rounded the top mark with top 10s which was a result of excellent starts and strong upwind legs. Ben struggled a bit to get in a good starting position which made it difficult for him to see strong races. Rory had a nice race one but struggled like the others to retain his position throughout race 2.
Chase has had an injury and sadly is unable to finish the regatta. He has seen a wonderful Dr here which was arranged by the organization and has a bad neck spasm which is causing him discomfort and some immobility. Such a shame as he was having a decent showing here.
Tomorrow is the last day and once again two races are scheduled. We are hoping that the strengths of today will prevail tomorrow.
