Today saw the kids and Roberto getting briefed early this morning. Afterwards they left for the parctice race in light wind conditions but the RC took them outside of the islands and as they got there the sea breeze filled in to a consistant 10 - 15 from the west. As in the past the kids did not finish the race but used it as a opportunity to check in against other boats in the fleet. From hearing them talk in the debrief session the felt that they had pretty good boat speed compared to some of the others. Looks like the heavier wind days in Texas will pay off for them now. As for the real racing that starts on Monday and it does not look like it willbe a pleasant day with wind predictions of 15- 25 from the South to South East and even calling for thunderstorms. We will have to wait and see what happens. I have uploaded some pictures from today below.
As always the girls are gorgeous. Mikey looks like he is attempting the Incredible Hulk pose and Benj looks like a disgruntled sailor! Miss all of them!
