Ouch. A week in Scotia bank and 8 consecutive days of sailing here in Kingston are adding up. Whether it was exhaustion, or some other inexplicable cloud, it was a rough day for Dane and Jack, and a medium and not super happy day for Kristopher. The bright spot today was Romain's performance showing pretty solid results keeping some hope alive.
As the morning greets us the westerly is solidly established, so keep the fingers crossed for a good day all around. It's a funny thing as we tend to think of results that don't meet expectations (ours and the sailors), I always have to remind myself of how unforgiving the sport is, and how much is happening in these young sailor's minds, from traveling, eating different foods, staying within unfamiliar surroundings, competing with new coaches in a unique setting and having to rise to the occassion day after day. The number of decisions we are asking them to make every day to prepare and compete is mind-boggling. They are all trying hard, and doing a great job. Proud of you kids!!!!
