The practice race of the regatta was held this afternoon. I'm not sure why it's called a race because there is nothing about it that resembles a race at all! The kids have lots of fun on the water in a semi race course. Jack, one of our team members, managed to start in two different flights and at one stage members of our Australasian team were sailing backwards on the reach! The purpose of the race is for the officials to ensure everything is in place before racing proper starts tomorrow.
We are waiting now to return to the racing venue for the opening ceremony. They have built an amazing stage and have been sound checking all day. It looks like it will be amazing. Zak is the New Zealand flag bearer and Caralina is the Australian flag bearer.
