ETNZ will be back in action today. Spoke with one of the crew, they replaced the front beam dolphin striker, all stays under the boat, and one rudder. The dagger and front beam are OK. He said that he had just raised that dagger right before impact...

I've only been here since Monday, but the local spectator fleet is not impressing anyone with their "seamanship." I am just surprised that these guys were surprised by just how bad it is (these are local waters for me, so I've been dealing with it for over 20 years).

Breeze is forecast to be west again today (not prevailing SW). It's blowing pretty nicely at the moment.

I tried the catsailor gallery, and got error messages uploading pics. If someone can help me out, shoot me an email or PM (email is best).
