Saved by the PRO!

Well we should have been back two hours ago but there was a small matter of none of our sailors signing out to go racing this morning along with two other foreign sailors also. What their coach said to them is unrepeatable.. It was v clear in the SI's that not signing may lead to DSQ for the first race of the day . Max and Martin were very unhappy as you might imagine , about to loose a second and a 17th . Any way after some charm from us to the PRO,some international diplomacy behind the scenes and  some mistakes by the Race office etc we managed to avoid all penalties . It was a great relief to all a hopefully never to be repeated mistake.

We are now off to the Raffles Hotel for cocktails ( adults only and we need them tonight! ) and out for dinner down town with the Sarah Clapp and her mother .

Results will be posted later but Max is 6th overal and Martin 15th , Jamie has moved up a few places and Ross has consolidated his position. It was a bit windier today and we had three races .
