Mischa’s report, sent by Jasper from sailshoot.com:
” We are now on to day four of the North Americans. The forecast for today shows wind filling around one o’clock. Day one the breeze was minimal with think fog fog. Day two made for a WII tournament in the
airco, reading and lot’s of talking about sailing. The breeze would not fill in so no racing. At 7 Tuesday evening, I gave a Hobie Hot Shot seminar talk about the key points of going fast followed by comments of race one with the tracking system. It was a big success with eighty people attending the seminar and the group remained
silent (not sleeping) and entertained for two and a half hours. Day three (yesterday) there was nice off shore breeze which made the course puffy and shifty and a lot of fun. It was a day where anything could happen as long as you kept working your own plan. We were happy with our scores. We did not finish worse than a fifth place and won one race.
We are still leading the overall followed by Macca and Fergie.”
