Yes, we are still having fun but, as with the start of a regatta, the end of a regatta also gets a bit hectic with meetings (both internal and external). Apologies from your editor, but there was no time last evening to dash off even a quick post.

We were disappointed with the last leg of yesterday's race when we dropped a place. But clearly we are sailing better than in Valencia, and while it would be nice to be ahead of Alinghi going into today's fourth and final race, being tied with them is none too shabby! Good show guys; keep it up.

Bad news -- there is not a breath of wind this morning and the RC have already decided to postpone ashore. Good news -- CB thinks there is a fairly good chance we will have raceable wind by 1300 or so. The RC has until 1630 to try to start a race. The rules prevent the RC from starting a race after that.

If we do not race the tie break goes in favor of Alinghi. When two teams are tied in points and each has the same finishes (as we both do: 1-2-4), the tie is broken in favor of the team which finished higher in the last race. Of course, Alinghi won yesterday's race.

So, at the moment, we are standing by to stand by, and would be very disappointed not to get a race in this afternoon.

Oh joy, someone wants to have another meeting.


Tennis anyone?
