Sail for Gold: Day 2's Windy Details, Weymouth, GBR
September 15, 2009 (Written morning of September 16, 2009)
Weymouth, GBR 

Yesterday was a long day of waiting, for our team here in Weymouth.  We were scheduled to do four races yesterday after the first group finished up.  We were greeted in the morning with 20-25kt winds, which calmed enough for the race committee to send out the first group.  After difficulties getting the course set and breakdowns on the Elliots, racing was further delayed for about an hour.  The group finally got in three races, before the race committee decided that it was too windy, as the wind was starting to average 25kts, gusting to 30kts.  The intent was for our group to go out if the wind died down again later in the day.  And it did, around 2:30pm.  It died down to the high teens, with gusts into the low 20’s.  We headed out for the race course and got situated with everything.  But as the race committee went into sequence, the wind picked back up to the mid 20’s with gusts to 30kts again.  But we raced.
