Hello again!
Well it’s been a really exciting few days out in Marseille for the iShares Cup. It’s been hot and windy, and certainly pretty fun sailing! The boats, the Extreme 40’s are amazing to sail, and with wind and waves, that excitement is just incredible. The racing is fast, I mean really fast, and furious, and having spent the last race onboard Groupama I was reminded of the speed and the brutality of the Grand Prix races I used to do onboard the ORMA 60’s. It felt quite odd not being part of the team who were out there racing each day, quite odd waking each morning not thinking of the race course. But for once it did give me the time to be out there watching, soaking in all that was going on onboard the boats, and the differences between the teams. It’s full on racing, and at those speeds there is no time to make decisions. It’s all on, all physical and all quick thinking from the moment you cross the start line to the moment you cross the finish line!

After doing your profession (no matter how much you love it ) It is nice when you can actually be at your work place , and just relax for the day and see how the “job” goes on from the other side of the fence . (more fun if your a support or back room person who can then be a customer/client :D).
