We're really enjoying the hospitality of Rhode Island - truly a serious Contender for the title of sailing Mecca of the world. We were delighted to have the opportunity to visit the America's Cup village and meet some of the sailors, including Loick Peyron - himself a past competitor in the TwoStar. Yesterday, we delivered Jangada Too to the north of the island where she will be dry stored until the ship arrives to bring her home. It was a bit sad leaving her there, but she is in fine company - we also spotted "Courageous", the yacht which defended the America's Cup in the 1980s was there, still looking beautiful. Last night we went to one of the many wonderful restaurants and indulged in fabulous Maine lobster. Richard is trying to source a boil-in-the-bag version for future races...
The sad news to report is that the "badger" beard is no more - it was driving me nuts and I didn't want to come home with a white chin!
