Saturday, 05 April 2008

Nothing to report today, the competition was called off for today at 11:00 hours skippersmeeting, as there is no chance for wind today.

The forecast for tomorrow calls for a little bit wind from the west, probably enough to start a race on port tack. If there is anything happening, we will try to get LIVE again, depending of 3G reception on the beach. Stay tuned !

Friday, 04 April 2008

Sorry for not being able to update you live today - we had no mobile reception down on the beach. But you missed nothing, as the wind was light and the riders happy to have a rest day.

Probably we get some wind tomorrow, but it is not looking good for the final two days of the competition.
