We’ve had a couple of days of race-training inside the bay here in Rio. We’re right under the of Sugar Loaf and the massive statue of Christ atop the highest promontory in town, but the only shade in town is under the boat when we’re polishing. Temperatures reach 90+ degrees almost daily this time of year. Luckily the seabreeze fills around 1pm so there is some relief once we get sailing, but if the wind is still light, then the downwind legs can be painfully hot. The next week will be critical to acclimatize as well as tune the boat for the big show. Racing starts next Saturday.Stay in touch at the new www.CampbellSailing.com(photo by Brad)
