April 11th
Day 6
Weather is awful .. it hasn’t stopped raining .. pouring all night and all day .. Fortunately chums have arrived by road and air and no doubt alcohol will be imbibed and fun had and the weather will be forgotten
Blue spot is where we are.. Campioni on Lake Garda
A walk was taken this morning in the rain to see the sailing area .. Ok if it stops raining..benches to sit and watch But I don’t think the supporting ladies will be down in this weather
A meet and greet party held in the local bar was a great success even a USA team arrived and much merriment ensued.. and the rain stopped
Day 7
12th April
Race day 1
The wind did blow eventually by mid afternoon
Moving boats around by tractor fully rigged down the main road tickled me
The Driver now called The Skipper did quite well until something broken… all mended now ..
The rain has stopped still chilly and a need for a big coat
Kite surfing to watch as well
An outing to a local hostelry is on tonight’s plan after sailing
Tomorrow the WAGS (wives and girlfriends ) are off to Malcesine on the ferry for a bite of lunch …some are braving the cable car ride up to 6000 ft .. sadly with the cloud on the mountain The Cook thinks it a waste of money and isn’t going but is going out for lunch with the other like minded gals ..
