Delta Lloyd

Well Delta Lloyd certainly lived up to its reputation as being a windy regatta! For the entire regatta (except day 2) it blew dogs off chains. And what fun it was! The windy weather definitely allowed the Australian's to show off how we love sailing in breeze! Unfortunately I missed the medal race, but finished 11th overall. I'm very pleased with this result as it was the first regatta for the season.

It was great staying so close to the regatta site. And I got great delight from 18 ducklings that would come and visit us at dinner time every day. They were obviously very used to people as they would eat out of our hands. Very cute.

Had a day seeing the sights in London (being a tourist is exhausting!) and am now in Weymouth. The weather here had been lovely, but its turned cold just in time for the regatta which starts tomorrow. I'm looking forward to getting racing again.

Cheers,
Gabe
