Breeze On

Yes, it was a bit windy in VLC the past couple days. The breeze came on Wednesday afternoon and blew hard for 36 hours. Related story and another scary pic on today's Valencia Sailing. For most teams, yesterday became a meeting and maintenance day. Today (Friday) looks like a great sailing day, albeit a bit rough from the residual seas.



Speaking of, John Cutler's (NZL, Desafío Español) working party of rules gurus took advantage of yesterday's blow out to try to resolve, once and for all, the remaining racing rules issues. No cigar, but they're getting close. On Monday the CC agreed a two week extension, to 15 March, of the deadline for finalization of all Umpire Calls and Q&A's.
