News from Olli!
Hi John,
Yeah, today was hell on water. It was only blowing little over 20kts but this bay is the most insane place I've ever seen for waves. They are short and so irratic you just can't imagine. We flipped three times downwind - each time when trying to jibe. Once even without the spinnaker. Racing the Steeplechase in 30kts is a cakewalk compared to this bay at 20kts.
Robbie flipped once at the gate trying to avoid another boat.
JC and Kenny broke their mainsheet right after the start which is really bad because I think today was their kind of conditions.
They decided to cancel races for the rest of the day due to some injuries. There were three ambulances tending to a broken leg, rib, and an ankle.
Unfortunately the forecast is the same for the next two days.
JC and Kenny just walked in... They are currently drunk and I am going to have to have them tested before racing tomorrow.
Cheers,
Olli
