Day 4 Morning Video

Mid Day Off The Beach

Beach Action Day 3

Day 3

We have just finished the first two races and the sailors are back on the beach. Rod Waterhouse placed third in the first, but hoizoned in the second. Double trapping going on. Hot, clear and a PERFECT sailing day.

Funny fact of the day: We did an informal pole of the beach team's combined experience in sailing. Took a few of us a while to count back that far :)  With the nine guys we have here... 297 combined years of sailing and racing.

We are being well protected by members of the Chinese Military Police.


Video blog of the morning to follow shortly!

Results are going up pretty quick now on the event site. We had printed results on the beach before all the boats had made it back. The rest of the event site is lagging.

Aussies are SO Polite!

Kevlar took the waterproof camera for a swim as the boats left the beach. How many guys say "Thank You!" as they get run over?
