Gray and Rainy Morning in Valencia

Nothing scheduled this Saturday, but much anticipation after yesterday's exciting race.  Can the Race Committee again pull the rabbit froim the hat and run race 2?  Will the tri show her turn of speed again, driving the wing mast past Alinghi and her "soft sails"?

Kimball Livingston has again said it better than we could Kimball Livingston Blue Planet Times for a great explanation of the race and some super pictures.

It will be cold and gray again Sunday, tomorrow.  Maybe rain, maybe snow????  North winds around 10 kts????  A 36 mile triangle course.  Everyone still here in Valencia wants another race tomorrow.

Here's a pic of our cheering section yesterday.  Some of the BMWO contingent, cheering.  Courtesy of Kimball Livingston.  Dan Nowlan in gray in the middle, front row.  Me behind standing in his lee!

And of course, the impressive Rising Sun in the background.

I'm still trying to find the crew interviews after yesterday's race online.  They played them at BMWO team base but in the very happy throng it was very hard to hear anything.
