Racing on Day 2, and the competition is starting to hot up...



                   Lets run over to the Sonar class race course first and check out how the teams went

                                          It was all very pretty blues to start with the Norwegian team
                                  

                                                                            
                                                      ... with close competition at the finish line
                                                                                

                                                                  .. there were 360's on the finish line !



                                                      some seemed more relaxed

                                               
                                                            others kept it bright


                                                                         The USA team was hanging out ..


                                                         Maserati  were hot..




                                                 The Italian team were putting in a big effort



                                                        ... the Koreans too
 


                                                      a wee bit of Ireland here

                                                                a nice line ... mostly


                                                            plenty of white sails to measure ...



                                                      and while they headed off , we ...
                                                                          


                                              gunned the engines and went for a skud view ...



                                                    I was having a bit of a 'people ' day
                                                                                    

                                                        big smiles .. from Russell and Kim


                                                             a few laughs  foe Brett and Ame


                                                     some time to stretch for the Polish team .


                                                      New Zealand were getting organised ...


                                                         The Malaysian team


                                                     Canadians too...


                                                 Now its time for serious ...




                                                   turn the corner , and throw up the coloured sails






                                       Coloured and sails and a Melbourne skyline...











                                                                   Dan and Leisl are hard to beat..




                                                John was going low profile ..



                                                                              


                                                                 and lastly a visit to the 2.4 Mt  boats
                                                   who had a visitor travelling quietly across the course
                                                                a very picturesque 'Coota Boat'
                                                                                       

                                                   with afternoon sun on the sails ...






and then it was time

to pack up our lunch bags,


and head back to the dock ...

where the support teams waited


the lunch ladies were hopefully having a break...from the amazing catering they have been doing


                                                                    RVYC staff too,...

Fernanda , our Olympic representative from Brazil
was giving out a few hugs..


and bloggers and photographers are preparing  


... to walk the plank again tomorrow
