Day minus One

Today was our last day before the event starts for real, so it was time to set the schedule for the rest of the week in place with a 9am Briefing followed by a good couple of hours on the water.  Again the wind Gods were on our side and other than the odd heavy rain shower it was a great morning.

As normal it was a few boat handling exercises followed by two big races, and we were joined by almost every country you can think of, with around 80-90 boats on the line slightly bigger than the real thing!!

Then it was back to the beech for the final bit of boat prep, more rubbing compound and polish than Halfords!

Friday evening was the opening ceremony when all 29 Nations paraded through the Camp site to the marquee in their team kit.

Early to bed for most of the team.
