Early bed and lots of sleep for sailors who
were up at 07.30am sorting drinks, kits snacks before breakfast. We got to the
pancakes that Milo had with Nutella
today. Dining room is so busy we hardly notice any other teams. Our team is not
near the disco which is a benefit, although the coach is!
This morning the sailors finished off their
boats and applied their Pensato stickers for their photo call. The sailors are
beginning to work out that Carla is less on your case if you are more
organised. Somebody has realised, after three days, that it is better to
confess that you forgot to pack your sunglasses and borrow Tim’s spare
sunglasses than put up with the glare. The sailor who forgot their praddle has
only just admitted to this and it could be a challenge to find one. A trip to
the club boats maybe the answer.
We are really struggling to get the
pictures up and we have loads and maybe it will be soon. Technology is not the
DR’s strong point. Carla’s phone is still stalking Tim’s and has now sent him
44 copies of the same text, Despite taking out both the SIM and battery as advised by Orange UK, we think Kate GT has
the same stalker …
ITA have not yet arrived but almost
everyone else is here. Some countries are struggling with the heat, one of the
girls who went out with out her rash leggings was quite sunburnt last night
even though she had loads of sun cream . It looked very sore. One sailor in
another team is struggling with being home sick. Thankfully none of ours are.
Sailing today was a little different.
Thunderstorms inland were making the wind a touch less stable, and slightly
further to the left. We kept working on sussing out the race-course and also
some more technique, before moving on to some more race orientated exercises to
sharpen up the sailors thinking.
Teams are pairing up and we are with NZL as
usual. We have the RIB this morning while they do team racing practice with SWE
and then we are going to escape to the Supporter hotel and get out of here.
Luggage is still not appearing for a number
of other teams, and one of the parents from FIN has still not got her suitcase
and had to go shopping, but Rosa from the Race Office who sorted our missing
sail is on to Iberia again. I think she needs a direct line to their office!
We are all paid up and registered and
tomorrow is the practice race and opening ceremony.
