So the wind had died down a bit, but annoyingly changed from a cross-tail to a full on cross wind. Not pleasant racing conditions. Our Junior Boys Tom Deacan & Oli Rix didn’t have a brilliant race, there were only 5 boats in the race and well, they came 5th. Only a slight improvement on the last world cup but at least Oli’s nerves let him get in the boat this time, although when the Junior Girls are catching you up, maybe it’s time for some more training?

Bloody windy. Two words that sum up todays racing, and the wind took some victims in the Junior racing. Unfortunatley Our Gold medal winning girls from WC1 didn’t have the perfect races, with Vicky Croucher making it dificult for herslf by taking an early swim, and Jenny Illedge not having a perfect race saw her take 4th just outside the medals. Not wanting to be outdone by the girls, Jonny Tye thought he’d cool off on the second to last portage wich was very unfortunate as Jonny was in full control of the front group and looking like he was going to improve on his WC1 Bronze. Albert Hicks, although looking like he was having a promising race, must have thought it rude to show up the others by staying upright, and also decided to pay a visit to the fish on the first portage, putting him in 8th at the end.
