Cool this morning following the frontal passage yesterday afternoon, and overcast. The weather is still unsettled and CB says we could have some showers, a fair bit of wind again today, and probably just as rough.

Given the stories we heard from other teams last night of the problems they had yesterday (more than met the eye during the race), it would not be surprising if there are some signifcant problems out there again today. Knock on wood '76 continues to be so robust.

Fast boats, well sailed, that don't break. Or as they say in F1, to finish first first you have to finish. No doubt the equipment and crews will be well tested again today.

The mood in camp this morning is calm and relaxed. Three wins on the board, no equipment problems beyond the broken pole yesterday -- firing on all cylinders. But there is a little more anticipation today, a little more excitement in the air, because we have two (at least on paper) tougher races on tap -- K-Challenge (2-1) then ETNZ (both 2-1) -- and another day of challenging conditions.

Alinghi and Luna Rossa meet in the second flight (Flight Five) today, so that should also be interesting.

Less windy, but with it blowing all night it could be as rough or even
rougher today.
