Dear All:Greg had a better day than yesterday. The sailors were sent onto the water at noon but then were postponed on the after for 3 hours before they got off one race. Conditions were similar to yesterday, with light winds. Greg had a reasonable start and did quite well for 95% of the race. Then he blew it at the end and ended up in last place, again. Although the result was the same as the first two races, there was hope today and signs that he can do better. He was very disappointed but knows exactly where he went wrong. Luis was also very disappointed, but was encouraged by the fact that Greg showed for most of the race that he had learnt from the mistakes of the day before.
With just one race today, we race again tomorrow with two races scheduled. We may be racing also on Friday which had been scheduled as a spare day. Greg’s race was not televised and I did not go on the water. It is less stressful for me to find other things to do rather than to watch him race. Greg will try again tomorrow to continue to improve and hopefully see improvement reflected on the scoreboard.
Greg appreciates all the expressions of support and best wishes that he has received.
Regards to all
Peter Douglas
