Ulsan, Korea.
After a couple of hours of vain attempts the race committee was able to place the field of competition. By shortening the route and moving the buoys on the ground we were able to complete a slalom conditions and gusty winds to the limit. Arnon Dagan goes to the first heat, you could say at the first mark (I think it is still pumping water to share.) Bjorn stop at the semi-finals. Volwater passes only the first round. As always in these contexts has the experience and the best timing to exploit the slightest opportunity: I still do not have that quality (as demonstrated by the fact that with the 8.3 and 125 was hard to glide between a buoy and the other ...) Even the Korean children in strollers are able to so easily overcome: slide in 41 position with two 36 and 32 as a result (in the face of mathematics ...). Begalli loses its spot in the prize and end 31. Greta part so the limit in its battery, which is disqualified for partenza anticipata insieme ad altre due concorrenti. A tenere alto il nostro morale per fortuna c'è Menegatti che si porta a casa un 7 posto assoluto e sale 11 nell'overall. Domani le previsioni sono di vento tra i 9 ed i 12 nodi, ma gran parte del gioco dipenderà dall'intensità del sole. Qui ad Ulsan infatti, il termico che si sviluppa nella baia sembra dipendere prevalentemente dalla temperatura ambientale.
Riflessione del giorno: "ho fatto 9600 km per gareggiare in condizioni simili a quelle di Navene, che si trova a circa 20 km dalla mia casa sul Lago di Garda. Mancano solo i Kite e i carabinieri in appostamento con la motovedetta..."
stay tuned
(e se potete, uscite a Navene)
