The Revenge of Gaia




Getting old waiting. From Left Bora Gulari, Scott Babbage, Matt Belcher, John Harris...

We lost day one yesterday, too extreme to sail, and today is looking terrible as well. We already have 40 knots in the harbour.

We may race later, but its not looking good and by way of an omen the they can't get the postponement flag down.. its stuck up the flag pole.

The outlook? Tuesday is by these new standards less angry yet still on the limit but just dont mention wednesday....

It's possible that this world championship could be decided over two days...

The top guys are bearing up with well though but Bora Gulari is walking round with a knife, John Harris has taken caffeine addiction to new heights and Andrew McDougall is making "beeping" sounds.

I feel OK, tired of being on standby but OK I guess.

My question is will Bora get out of the group of death?

Si I hope you have "the need for speed" ;)

We looked up the Weymouth weather for you. What a wash out!
Thunder storms back here at Hayling Island and Emsworth. Thursday looking a little better.
