Here in Spain, as in many places around the world, it's Father's Day. Our team has the day off, and we hope everyone is enjoying it as it will be the last chance to relax a bit before Act 12 begins this Thursday (22 June) and runs through at least Sunday 2 July. At least, we say, because Monday 3 July is a reserve day in case racing is not completed by the 2nd.

It's two full weeks of racing with plenty of shoreside action as well. Monday and Thursday next week are also reserve days, so hopefully the teams will get at least a bit of a break either or both of those days. Regardless, it will no doubt be a long, hard slog. I guarantee you there is not a person on our team who is not keyed up for the start of racing this coming Thursday, when our opening-day opponents will be GER and RSA.

In the meantime, relax and enjoy the nice Sunday here in VLC, or wherever in the world you may be celebrating Father's Day.
