PWA | LANZAROTE – Day 3

PWA Lanzarote 2010 Day 3 Today the weather started off really cloudy. Right after the skippers meeting around 10AM the wind was still kind of light and never picked up. Until 5:30PM, fortunately this allowed us watching the soccer match Brasil VS Holland. Holland was only represented by a hand full of riders. Most of the crowd were a supporting the Brazilian riders. Watching the match, covered in orange flags exciting experience.To sum it up, it was kind of a thrill, especially when Holland took the victory.This was a mind blowing experience for let’s say 90% of the audience who were cheering for Brasil! After the great match was finished and a lot tear drops later, the wind started to fill in. The PWA crew decided to start off immediately finishing of the first single elimination for the men and women. In the end after lot’s of re sailing it was enough to finish one heat. For now we still have to finish the single elimination for both men and women. The wind forecast doesn’t look really good for tomorrow (loads of cloud cover and north westerly winds). Let’s see if we atleast can get an result for both men and women.
