It must be nice to fly to an event and get a brand new boat waiting for you there, I'm so jealous.
But then, I'm rubbish, so I really don't expect to get such treatment on merits
Practice, practice some more, practice even more, win the Euros at Garda and about 20 other races, smooch up to a sponsor and I reckon you maybe in with a chance.
Super slippery when wet for the first few times. You have to spend some time with cleanser or maybe sand to rough up the rails, tramp and even the sheets.
The Venue... big beach with a huge tidal swing it appears. Thats a long hike to the water's edge on a low tide!
My, what a great shirt Greg's wearing! (and damn, I should have placed that SPS logo the other way). I'm rootin' for them and all the US teams to make a great showing. Go the 'dub.

Wind is looking quite good for today with 11-16 knots, probably the windiest day this week. We where surprised to see hardly any current, even though there is a 6m difference between high and low tide.
