Yesterday everyone was geared up and ready for the pre-worlds regatta except for the wind. It was light and oscillating from side to side throughout the morning. Racing was postponed for an hour. Sailors took to the water to more or less float around and practice unwinds while they waited for the course to be set. In the meantime a wicked thunderstorm built up and rolled in around 2pm and racing was abandoned as the heavens opened up and everyone scrambled for shore.
Organizers were disappointed of course, as the previous 3-4 days have been idyllic. We returned to the hotel earlier than normal and the kids ran around seeing friends and playing CIA games supposedly. Early to bed as well getting them more ready for the racing that lies ahead.
Hopefully today will bring steadier winds and the kids can get some racing in....
