Conditions Another beautiful day – I think it’s raining every where else but here! The projected weather for the day: sunny with winds clocking from NW all the way around to the SW later in the afternoon. Continental breakfast under the tent, followed by a quick introduction of more key people, including our surprise guest, Janet Baxter, first female president of US SAILING, who drove up from Chicago just to say a few words in person to the competitors. To the group of 84 young ladies, she said that anything was possible, from being an Olympian to being the president of US SAILING. The program then shifted over to the coaches, with Meg Gaillard, Head Coach, Brian Doyle, Jen Morgan-Glass, Emily Hill and Graham Bieh. Graham gave rigging tips and B.D. reviewed the on-the-water drills they would be running today; the other coaches throwing in their two cents along the way. The competitors geared up and launched by 11:30 and were out for the afternoon. Lunch was served on the water. After a debriefing session, a Mexican Dinner is planned under the tent later this evening.
