Starts at 10:00, as required by the program, the first round of slalom World PWA Fuerteventura. The trade winds, the early hours of the morning certainly not stable, makes the choice of the combination board-sailing the main dilemma for all athletes. To complicate the lives of ordinary mortals, and create chaos in the sick minds (like mine) think about things like the fickleness of the wind speed and the path in some cases positioned too far sideways. That's like saying, no doubt add to the dilemma, the equation is too simple, we insert some unknowns ignorant of the constants known ...
The "giant" take to the water with 110 and sails over 7 meters, normal people are opting for simpler measures such as 6.7, gnomes like me (in relation to the average PWA) 100 fly away already from the beginning and with 80 sink like a submarine of the First World War. In these context, I am fully aware that my body is anything but suitable for the slalom in conditions like these ...
During the day the wind increased slightly allowing you to play 3 complete boards. The list which begins to take shape has some surprises in the head brother Frenchman Cyril Moussilmani closely followed by Antoine and immortality costantissimo Pritchard. Bjorn is "only" 5 while Finian slips eleventh. Among the Italians
behaves well Rosati Iachino 25 and 29. Andrea Cucchi 33 Begalli Reuscher 36 and 39. Menegatti, complicit in a breach of the boom in the second round and a jump start in the third battery of skills, for now it is only 40. I waver in the latest ranking positions and shame as well as a vague sense of religious piety invite me to not dwell too much in the description of my performance ... One comforting
of the day is that my best starting (final round) I have done without clock (I forgot I was on the beach). That says a lot about my technical qualities. My girlfriend is working on a new model of trial racing, it seems that rumors of accounts every two seconds one or the other way ... .. depending on your point of view, the time zone where I will have to compete and my aptitude for blasphemy .
The appointment is for tomorrow at 09:30 for the skippers meeting and the first possible start at 10. The organizers are pushing to make much evidence as possible in the early days of racing, the weather in fact they are not very promising, and the specter of the bubble calima hovers on the future of this competition.
Stay tuned!
