Another night of rain but we have woken up to a slighty overcast day but the forecast is for the day to clear and provide a bit of breeze.
On the water today at 10.30am with some better pressure around 12-15knots, a lot of cloud cover which would hang around most of the day and provide 3 good races in some reasonable breeze.
All the boys are now in the gold fleet so it made it much easier to follow them in the same flight. Mark is doing a great job of putting up to the minute positions at mark roundings on facebook for those of you staying up late to keep updated. The facebook page is optiworldsnz 2011 nzl team for those of you wanting to have a look, some extra photos to llok at as well

Race 1
Leonard 1st Isaac 5th Markus 32nd

At the end of tomorrow we are bags packed and gone by 8pm for our 7 hour driver to Heathrow to jump on the plane and head home, Rob Kazyuo and Len jumping ship at Japan so Len can smoke them all at the Japanese Nationals.
The laughs from today.
Today we were doing the old throw the bottle in the water and measure the tide trick. All good, Rob was up the front so his job was to retrieve the bottle. Anyway we come up to the bottle Rob reaches in to grab the bottle and showing commitment reached in a litlle further to get the bottle, oops to far and there he is hanging over the side head buried in the water bum pointing upwards, we had to jump forward and pull him back into the boat, and we all thought Leonard was the only one who could fall out of the boat on the reach, we were wrong, it must run in the family..
Then there was Isaac ready to start race 2, off goes the gun and off he goes got nailed and a pretty deep start, one of the English girls was in front of him wearing Markus's orange beanie, off it flies into the water, so what does Isaac do, he tacks grabs the beanie and continues to sail out left, must be a lucky hat Isaac finished 4th in this race. Definetly not standard practice and I am sure Mum will be horrified reading this!!!
