We've lined up Santiago Lange, who lives in Buenos Aires, Argentina. He is really great and a big help. We are also going to work with a British team, but they have to get through their trials first. You can make a bad choice or a good choice. Today we made two good choices and three bad choices, but twice we came back to win the right side.
Conditions change very fast.
Long Beach Harbor can usually be counted on for prevailing southwesterlies to 15 knots, but this week it's been a house of mirrors made worse by fog on the last two days. Wednesday's racing was delayed for 45 minutes because of poor visibility, then suspended for an hour after the first flight when the pea soup took a curtain call before bowing out to sunshine. But while the wind built from 6 to 13 knots, it never settled into a dependable direction. Then he righted his Catalina 37 to stop a 3-0 run by Germany's Markus Wieser and dispatch local hope Scott Dickson to share second place with Denmark's No. Sten Mohr at 8-5.
