Hyeres, France April 21, 2008 We have just completed day two of the Semaine Olympique Francaise regatta here in Hyeres, France. We have completed four races total. Yesterday we sailed two races in an onshore breeze around 15 – 20 knots. Today the first race we sailed in shifty offshore breeze around 8-13 knots, and the second race in 9 – 15 knots. We have been sailing in split fleets of 39 boats per fleet. I finished with a 6th and 11th in yesterday’s races and a 2nd and 1st in today’s races. We are sharing the racecourse with the men’s Laser class so yesterday we were scheduled for a late start at 2:30pm. This was fine because we got to sleep in a bit, but the forecast was for the weather to deteriorate and get windier throughout the day. And sure enough, the rain started at 2pm, just in time for our racing.
