Woke up at 5 am to howling wind and pouring rain, struggling to remember what day it was. Unfortunately it was not any of the last two days but now a third day where we might not be able to go sailing. The wind sock at the coast guard helicopter base here was getting blown at an up angle. That was entertaining enough for Bear and I to stop and take some pictures. 41 knots in the harbor right now. Will have to take Seb Josse's offer of using some windsurfing equipment. Seb is a really nice person and was a pleasure to meet him after all the stories bear has told.
funny moment of the morning, an announcement over the PA appologizing about the AP over A being up from the day before and that it is so windy they cant get it down. Hah
Think I will wander off to the car to take a nap, ok nap did not happen drank too much coffee.
The whole regatta is now watching "Top Gun" i was nearly crying from laughter to hear people sing "You've Lost that Loving Feeling"

Bora; can't stop howling with laughter myself at the thought of the windsock flying upwards and you all singing along to "Top Gun." Sounds like typical British summer weather. Not exactly the light winds predicted by looking at Portland's historical wind record. God luck getting in some racing. Simon
