Well hey guys gotta be real quick cause gotta go to the club soon.The last few days have been an epic battle between sickness and health and i think im starting to win! A millions drugs and antibiotics later, my cough still resides but the soreness and headaches are gone, and everything feels better, touchwood.  The last few days have been spent registering and getting measurment out of the way.  We were the last boats they would measure yesterday, they closed the gates behind us, meaning the rest of the fleet will have to be done tomorrow. Its’ awesome that we have that out of the way cause it would of meant we to get up real early today to rush around and get it done. 

Dont want this

Today is the practice race.  We have decided to go out a little before the race and have a bit of a hoon, as we havent gone out yet.  We were going to go out yesterday but they closed the harbour because it was too rough outside.  The wind lately hasn’t dropped below 20knots and looking outside now today might be the lightest day we have, probably still 15-20knots.  Really keen for a sail as it feels like we haven’t been out in years.  Talking to some of the other teams, they said it was hard conditions out there, and there were quite a few capsizes also.  Hopefully, Klade and I can slip straight into it and be on the pace quickly. Um otherwise everything else good, oh Klade asked for some Coke yesterday at the cinema and the guy said we don’t sell, klade was like but u got it just there, and he was like oh Coca Cola…he thought Klade wanted Cocaine! haha anyway I thought it was funny but we aren’t kids on coke just so u no.

Good sailing

cheers
