Ok so the net connection here isn't allowing uploads so here it is.

Practice day 1 (No racing)
I think it's safe to say this side of the USA is just as far as Europe from Aus, 21 hours travel is a long time to be sitting still. We got the whole team together yesterday morning and spend the day in the front yard of Robbie and Jill's juggling 9 VIPERS. The organization and commitment of these guys is second to none and there coaching facility is unbelievable (see).
Weather conditions today where 18 knots with shifty 25 knot gusts, it looks like the will be the conditions for the rest of the week. The small water body of Gulfport keep the sea state real flat and we're hoping hurricane IDA will stay and just provide good conditions.
It's looking looking like an interesting regatta and the VIPER team is sporting some great talent so we hope they can deliver.
Stay tuned for more info and daily reports.
