Today In Kilifi we got our charter boats, and managed to get a good three hour training session in, We had an average of fifteen knots, and some great sunshine and everyone enjoyed the experience and the warm up for what promises to be a great event. Most of the other countries arrived today, Team South Africa were sharing a coach boat with team Switzerland.
Tomorrow we will be getting on the water for Nine O'clock because we all want to be in for the free diving lesson at 11.30.
So we will keep you all updated, everyone is having a great time.
Cheers

To the person in charge of Pingback Comments: I sent a message about 2 hours ago captioned "Hi Milly" I entered the Captha Code as K@LC. It may in fact be K@LG. I can't decide if the C with serifs is meant to be a c or a G. You have been doing a great job of displaying the messages to young sailors who, no doubt,are still looking for messages on your web-site! Kind regards, Ron Philpot

Hi Milly - congratulations, well done on your 4th place. You have a great future in sailing competition if you choose to pursue it! I'ts onwards and upwards from here! Val and Ron Philpot (James' grandparents).

Hello Zakaria and Alex. Congratulations from James Oliver's grandparents on your 2nd and 3rd places. Maybe we will eventually hear of you both competing in another class in Australia. Val and Ron Philpot.

Dad

hey James, i hear you are doing well over there so i wish you the best of luck. congratulations on doing so well mate.

Hi James,

Just tried to ring you prior to todays racing but did not get through. You and Milly are sailing really well, and everybody back at home can't wait to the results each day.

With only three to go, remember you are now only racing two boats, so be conservative and have fun.

Look forward to hearing later today how you and Milly finished up.

Good luck.

Dad

Allez Alex!! Un dernier petit coup de courage! Bravooo pour tes supers résultats pas mal du tout pour un petit mauricien perdu au milieu des baleines ;)! On pense mari fort à toi et t'attendons avec impatience! Profites bien des derniers moments!
Pleins de gros bisoux!
A lundi!
