Race 2: Sunday 14th February 2010

Summary: St. Valentines day... after snow in Valencia on Saturday.

After sleet and snow on Saturday, Valencia awakens to very cold conditions and very light winds from the NNE wafting around SSE in the afternoon -- looking at a couple of knots.
 

Monday 15th February

Summary: After very light winds on Sunday 14th February, Valencia wakes to rain and the odd squall coming in from due east.

The air temperature will be around 6-7 degrees Celsius but will feel barely above freezing.  There's a likely wind directional change from Due East to ENE later in the afternoon which may require a course change for the triangular course for Race 2.
