13:34 | last minute, most surfers line up for a port start
13:32 | I have to stay close to a wireless antenna and even then it is not sure…….
13:31 | but for the spectators its ok, they are mostly situated halfway the up and downwind and have a good overview of the races
13:31 | life is hard here….
13:30 | with the start so close to the beach there is a palmtree blocking my sight….
13:30 | class flag is flying
13:25 | 10 minutes before the start
13:11 | 12-14 knots but a lot more swell today
13:10 | the obvious choice to go upwind on the beachside is not so obvious anymore
13:10 | The course is similar to yesterday but a lot closer under the beach. good for spectators, press and forcingteh racers to make some more tactical descisions
13:10 | ap down on the beach
