Rod Waterhouse took another 1st today. William Edwards also took a first in this morning's races. They are on the water again after lunch for, an intended, 3 more back-to-back.

Sunny, 91 degrees and about 10 kts or a bit more.

5 Races Today.

Results are going up pretty quick now on the event site. We had printed results on the beach before all the boats had made it back. The rest of the event site is lagging. We have images in our blog ( http://hobiechinaworlds.blogspot.com )and more on the http://www.hobieclass.com site

I like the "Chinese Beach Wheels". 6 guys show up to carry the boat up the beach.

Final day of Women and youth event. We got two races off this morning, but during lunch a front has come over and stopped the action. 12 races in the can, so we have a solid series. Seems the leaders of each are well ahead, so no racing required to determine a winner but, we are on hold for a few hours.

Unfortunately... I am land-locked as part of the boat beach crew. We may get a ride on the course a some point, but only at the weather or leeward mark roundings I hear. They are not allowing general media boats onto the course. They do have professional video teams working the event and are making an event video. We do not have access to the footage right now.

Three races today. Two in 12-15 kts... One in 25 kts this afternoon. Straight on-shore again, so launching was...interesting.
