Just back from a rainy and windy day out of at the Olympic Sailing Center, topped off by a 3 mile walk back to my hotel because – dear me – there were no taxis to be hired in downtown Qingdao (during a rush-hour rainstorm that coincided with the end of Olympic events). I will never be dry, and it’ll be a miracle if I’m not feverish by daybreak. But, despite the drawbacks, a great day and a great event. Below, a photo of the Spanish team as they cheer on their newly victorious gold medalists in the Mixed Tornado – Multihull race (and no, I’m not going to pretend that I know what that means).
On deadline, back with more sailing observations in the morning.
