ingredients of the first stage of the zonal area Snipe IV 2010: sun, sea, wind .. and 15 woodcock! .. which I think is a record or near the first of a Zonal, plus extra-lake!
other news: For the first time I saw the knot for the signature-sheet output .. And it is because last weekend, in that of Anzio, the National Finn, for the first time have imposed penalties on those who had not unmarked?
water in a GLORIOUS day!
sun, warm air, blue sea .. with a few strips full of rumenta .. breeze gradually to rise by up to at least 4m/sec 6m/sec and pieces and then to decline.
first test: good start by boat, usually palleincatenate exchange, and so on .. strangely free and fast .. The fire broke out on board? does not burst .. then we expect the kraken .. Meanwhile, we go off to the left, while half the fleet is on the other side .. before the usual, well behind, yet compact at the first mark, after all.
The stern is classic, one foot in front of the other, taking care that the wind over the waves, the second upwind leg is frayed, and much more ass.
The latest release is the stern, up a hair better air plana, appears to control, then we enter the final round from right RobertoT and Joseph, but with the pressure that we can pull straight in there mark, taking the inside, turn on that quart of good length and taking the sails out of the palindrome is charged in gun to the finish, only half of the Laschetti, which must defend itself seems endless, then ends .. and makes tea for the second test.
Second test increased the air, it decreased the temperature and the wave always breaks off from the balls.
Safe Start as ever: tall, clean and fast .. obviously we have an iceberg straight forward .. but it was just a mistake .. the iceberg, not the start!
In fact these things when they happen, that is a good start, the field much better in the first part of the beat .. at the bottom to make disaster there is always the second part.
However, it is hard, I seem to be moving water, Cekka is of a different opinion, saying that we have angle and pitch .. I think for too much work .. But we are there to bounce towards the right at every junction with ClaudioT and Philip, which are usually well ahead, and falling after months of inactivity .. this explains why they are there, of course.
Take amminchiarci on every little, tacking it to the left, with a final svirgolo right, even if it is right tack against wave, current, and also assume horoscope .. while on the right part fast sparrows, with a bow Frederick, Vanda and Anita, to debut aboard the Bavo VOFF (finally in the water), and spouses Meriggi Federico & Mauro.
the buoy Piero and Eugenia are far enough from having to move the time zone on clock edge, we try to hold on for the entire breast, Fortunately walking.
The beat begins auspiciously .. and under the sails of George and Mark, just a little intrigue 'to leave somewhat by collecting a series of turns to shit .. fatigue begins to be felt .. and turns cost us a few places .. I'm afraid.
beat other rebounds during the Cekka me then suddenly the record is silent, that is to say either that we are going very well, or that there is exceeding a net anchored to the bottom .. for obvious psychological reasons, and an inability to find an answer from me, I tend to always comforting to think that this is the first hypothesis.
the windward mark, convinced to be on their shoulders, here we are low, so we try to force, what we call Breton, actually called "bullshit", especially when against the tide and the perfect wave at the worst moment perfectly, we must turn in the mark and do the second whore to George and Mark, the first was just a tack left and right, which do not sink to touch the buoy and 360 ° are losing the advantage they had on ClaudioT and Philip, while we do 720 °, and with the advantage we lose all hope .. in return we gain confidence that there would have disgraced a second place finish on the carved rocks dell'antemurale the port .. Obviously he's still spitting out the hair!
follows stern conservative, then the buoy, and Laschetti arrival .. and the view of the first to stay there provides the certainty of the third test .. with a little 'more air and less heat, but maybe it will be fast.
finally went to the wind as much right to become orthogonal to the line, on line, there are less holes, bad start, viriamo tack left before ClaudioR that pulls forward to the opportunity to nothing less than SilviaP, cut half the fleet, then I'll know that ClaudioR, tired of the demands of SilviaP belt (her usual off the table), has cut the straps and made to take a bath .. just returned to flight in SilviaP was rebuilt belts with the tow strap and it is hard to put back .. her .. ClaudioR needless to talk about it!
riviriamo When we start coming out around some crazy seeing that they make no secret of the manicure that have on their fingers as "medium", setting out clearly extended upward, and still viriamo riguadagnamo the left .. there are the crazy .. ah!
.. and when we discover that we are not crossing to the early eons as I thought .. Cekka then that he had hallucinations?
bounce around, above the waves, the beat is nothing short of frustrating, I can not go back as I would like, then I start sminchiettare with the lever shaft .. thing I do whenever I think of not walking, so I want to mount a scooter to use on even tighter in traffic jams .. obviously there is no scientific explanation .. but appreciates the palindrome and begins to move with a little 'more credence to the windward mark.
The first run is starting to show disturbing signs, air drops .. upwind of the decline is palpable, even to the lever shaft sminchiettare .. the first has lengthened, the fleet also, we are looking at least in the middle of redemption, with an eye on the most direct rivals: the spouses Meriggi, Federico & Mauro and RobertoT & Joseph.
At the windward mark we are far too close to "chasing pack" for my taste, jibe just looking for clean air, there is also pressure, Cekka me the commentary, I amminchio to find a rhythm in the waves, Massimo moments I Pocketing the mainsail only the power of thought .. I do not turn to look at but I feel that may be just or him, or Obiwan Kenobi .. and excluding, for obvious reasons it is the second ..
A first half we almost persuaded to be able to keep them, even if Max tries constantly luffing and gliding down in the waves .. we try to do so to defend us, especially that much remained to the right to close the inside boa .. even if you False Target launch from the stern would not make me sick! .. check out from the others if a hydrofoil, is a sham to pass in front of the fleet, then decides to pass frayed seeing her hovering between snipe racing .. Fortunately, the balls will not end in the record, the misery of the captain the ship and the sloth of CP .. no comment.
.. eventually managed to hold, comes the arrival, and with it the end of the season at Anzio .. we are again .. 4th at least regular .. ajetto skinny!
sin x the end of the season is really starting to feel a lot of good .. although we have yet to return, and we want to pack up and leave .. and while we're still well premiazia, which sees the podium with: Eugenia & Piero, Giorgio & Marco, ClaudioT & Philip!
Lakeside arrive late, after a stage of exchange, and when we are there is no wait for the container vanda-passerottinesco : 3 boats in two, thus panza de dog, the Bavo VOFF and nothing less than measles, which Pasquero to sabbazzietto .. observing the scene, I realize that in fact the missing sheets .. that is left to dry your hair in the dressing room of LNI (.. and someone will think that this is a joke .. and instead ..).. the two above-mentioned transporters I then explain that the decupante had better things to do than take care of the storage of its woodcock, cucumber and loosen the two quietly .. 'Nnamobbene!
time to download all under a huge moon, second only to moisture, and there arises the problem of "where" to go to feed: it's midnight, and everything is closed .. sull'anguillarese if not for a place that has earned the title of point-of-harvest-in-case-of-emergency!
The day ends as well, including a burger with chili fries and a wagon .. weisse beer and, of course .. AVB next meeting April 25 for the second Zonal Snipe, at of "Spring Meeting" , see you.
