Preparing for the south Americans...

March 20, 2009

Lots of sailors arrived today, from all over Argentina, specially Buenos Aires, and from south america there are the sailors from Chile, Peru, Colombia and more brazilians.
We had a press conference in the morning and soon after headed to Potrerillos lake for a perfect training day. Winds got close to 20 on the strongest gust and averaged 15. From yesterdays expereince of training with Gonzalo board speed seem to be similar, what will make the big difference is reading the shifts and gusts here, also super flat water.
