Well, it's already Thursday morning in Queensland (GMT+10). Four races scheduled today - racing starts in about 20 minutes. Fleet is already on the water while we in GMT-5 are sitting down for Wednesday-night dinner.

Conditions appear to have moderated. Fingers crossed for a better day of racing for the US teams. And no more injuries, please! <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

There are a couple of Aussies doing really well. Don Dull sailing with his son Kegan Dull. They are in 11th right now. I met them in France a couple of really nice guys. Don was on vacation with his wife and visited us in California for a few days in August. I am so pleased for them.

Later,
Dan

Robbie and Hunter just keep getting faster. Top 10 now, with the throwout still to come.

Hope Olli's ok - three DNFs look like a breakdown. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />

The unofficial results of that day showed Ollie and Pat finishing in 25th. I wonder if they had something to take care of after they hit the beach that involved a room and a few officials? This cannot be good for the home team.

Olli droped the mast, a pin broke. That is why they missed 3 races
