UK Nats - Day 3

Hi All, once again I have to start with an apology this post should have been up yesterday but the internet at the apartment is diabolical, the only good thing about this is that I am now sitting at our local 'The Crown' I made the mistake of wearing my Chiefs Rugby top so it has taken a while to get past all the local welsh boys.


The weather has been amazing even the locals can't believe the amount of sunshine we have had, a little bit more wind would be nice though. Today we had around 8 knots of breeze which died off early afternoon. This was enough breeze to allow us to get 2 races in and complete the qualifying series.


The results from today were:


Race 1

Leonard 1st Markus 2nd Isaac 4th


Race 2
Markus 2nd Isaac 6th Leonard 8th

Overall
Markus 1st Leonard 2nd Isaac 7th


Hows that 1st and 2nd overall go the Kiwis and all three in the top 10. The S.H.I.T.S on tour are doing the damage, lets hope they can keep it up. With the early finish the kids were keen to go to the movies so an early dinner and off to see the final of the Harry Potter series, big kids included. By the way Markus has changed his name to 'Rock' short for rockstar, at the end of the second race today he was approached by a rib full of people with cameras and microphones wanting to interview him, the interview will be on BBC Wales 6.30pm today, I am sure there will be an online way of watching this somehow.


A few photos from the day.


The boys standing outside someones front door, either we breed em big at home or this town was colonised by very short people.


Who said only the little kids could wear beanies!!
