A long day is over. We got out of the water at 11. A light wind of 6 knots was blowing but the current was strong, 20 meter per minute in the opposite direction to the wind. This made it impossible to start and the waiting began.
Both the sailors and I got a little bit frustrated when we waited and had wind but finally we could sail. Then the time was almost 3. The wind picked up some more to 8 knots and the races started. The current came still from the back and we got a lot of general recalls. Unfortunately Olle and Lucas got a BFD. Oscar kept cool on the right hand side of the starting vessel to not risk being over the line. He hade a solid day with safe racing and got a 7, 6.
Now the team racing regatta begins. It will take place over the weekend. Tomorrow all the courtiers with four competitors will sail and on Sunday the 16 best will battle for the medals. The team is now focused on team racing and it will be a good break from the individual racing, which will continue on Tuesday.
The results are not up yet but look at opitwolds2014.org to se them.
Now it is time for bed so we are rested for the Team Racing
