Pony Express



Bora Gulari won all three races yesterday. With ease actually. Excellent boat speed plus great sailing meant he was unchallenged. He deserved to win.

I'm tied on second with George Peat and Morgan Larsen. I think Charlie McKee is just behind us.

Today is apparently a "switch" day where the wind should come from the other direction, now the current should be taking us up wind. It's going to be 103 degrees, the water is warm, the scenery spectacular and the sailing great. Last night we chilled out at Mark Mendelblatts house, another top US sailors talking about getting a moth.

Six races today, all short sprints which should be fun. Right now there is no wind but I'm sure there will be later!
