Race 1: Friday 12th February 2010 Summary: It's a write-off. With very light 2-5 knot NW in the morning, turning around to 2 knot SE. Yep - the RepCast gives it about 15% chance of racing. And Harold might want to canvass the owners about an earlier "go home" call as the prediction is for snow on Friday evening. That's right a few cm of snow to fall on Friday night and expect more on Saturday! Race 2: Sunday 14th February 2010 Summary: St. Valentines day... after snow in Valencia on Saturday.
It still doesn't
look promising -- It will be colder than charity and the RepCast
shows about 6-9 knot SW again. RepCast chance of racing about
25%. Updated: Valencia RepCast issued 0900 New Zealand Daylight Savings Time (GMT + 13) Wednesday February 10
