The last 2 days the kids were bothered by a strong and gusty wind but we enjoyed it a lot, when we went sailing on the Tirion yacht after the training!
Today the circumstances for a race were perfect. The weather for the moment is very unsettled, so we took our chances and started up a race. We’d only just got on the water when the weather started to change, the wind started to get stronger and a mass of clouds covered the clear sky. After a couple of minutes the wind was dropping to a moderated breeze, which was actually almost perfect for an exciting race. There were 5 boats that could break away from the pack, they won finally by a large margin, still it was a tense race for who would come in fifth.
Tonight we take the plane to Qindao where we will spend the weekend with other trainers from Belgium and the Netherlands. One of the plans is that we follow the sailing regatta that is part of the pre-Olympics, taking place in Qindao.
You’ll here from us soon with pictures of the weekend!
Stay tuned,
The Shanghai Team
