Day two – more no wind

Rats! It’s midday of Day Two of the Worlds, and still no wind.

another beautiful day dawns, but no wind in sight

The competitor briefing was somber as the Race Committee and fleet contemplated another day of sitting around. They will make hour by hour delays until 1500, then call it for the day.

I feel for the organizers you spend months indeed years preparing and the one thing you cannot control is the weather.

Had a chance to chat with my friend and sometime coach Willem Van Waay; he is J/70 royalty having been a part of the last three World Champion crews. We talked about sailing in Florida next year 🙂

with Willem Van Way

Well that’s the news for now … stay tuned (and please root for wind!)
