All arrived. First training session on the water

Hi all

We have arrived safely at Hotel Strunjan. The Hotel is next to the beach. It is sunny, very warm and conditions are very light. We live in two bungfalows next to the hotel.

Everyone were really tired Thursday night, and we had an early evening. Friday morning Ryan and the sailors had a morning run to look at the conditions from the top of a hill next to the bay.

We have only received 2 of our charter boats in something that has developed into a farce. More about that later. We share a coach boat with the US team, and yesterday we had a 3 hour session on the water sailing with the French, GBR, Norway, Japan, NZL and the US. Wind was 3-4 knots so quite challenging !

The sailors have already hooked up with new friends from other nations and seem to have a lot of fun. When it is too hot, the beach is just in front of the hotel!

Today, there is registration and another session on the water. Hopefully all our Charter boats will be here..
