So, now there has been no wind for the last one and a half days. I guess this is when the pressure starts piling on for competitors and race officials alike.
All racing was cancelled here today. Now most classes (apart from the Star and Tornado, who were due to have their practice race today) are behind the racing schedule by at least two races, and it was all going so smoothly. The Pacific high is dominating the weather here is Qingdao.
The weather gurus standing around the Official Notice Boards - everyone has an opinion - were predicting everything from no wind to too much wind. Guess we will just have to wait and see.
What is certain is that the organisers are no 'on the back foot' as Charlie Cooke, the Chief Race Officer, would put it. I wonder, will Weymouth & Portland be any better ...... in August traditionally it can be quite windless as well, though not this week I hear!
