That's what's happening in Valencia. Monday, wind at top of the 20 mile course, none at the bottom. Wednesday, wind all over the course, consistent westerly as far as we could see, but a biggish northerly swell. Not breaking, not chop, not anything that would worry any of us, but no racing. Both boats sit ready in their corners, crews all dressed up, spectators stuffed with croissants and champagne, wired with espressos, but no racing.
Sorry to sound a bit frustrated, but a second day of everyone getting up before dawn planning on seeing the two big guys get the toys out, not to mention any names, but nobody showed their face on the race course.
Will they race Friday? The weather is predicted to act up again. Will they race Sunday? Will they ever race? Somebody will need a pretty damn big museum to display these to virgin dinosaurs!
Working on their tans.
These guys liked the sailing. Rising Sun in background.
These guys were parked.
