Hot, hot, hot!  Day two continued the pace of BIG crazy chop and moderate and shifty breezes.  WE were better in some aspects today with some great starts and a 7th to the Windward mark but still are suffering elsewhere.  Thank the Gods that this is the tune-up regatta and the Winter cobwebs can be shaken out.

The sun-burns that have appeared are beyond belief.  Watch burns are popular as are the red knees and lower thighs (no matter how many damn applications of screen you make!).  A couple of crews decided to do it shirtless under the gear the first day and in fact one of the Brits tried it for 2 in a row with catastrophic results – oh yikes.  Best though is the new form of burn acquired by Noah but confirmed to exist previously by the Mosers – Skipper burn.  Noah is burned at the bottom of his back to his bum-crack in a very bad way.  Must be why plumbers work inside.

Today is a lay day and we’re off to some village north of here to hang out.  More later and much, much better results to talk about!
