Update 4/12: Just spoke with Ross Chisholm race officer for our division, who tells me they'll probably set a couple of short windward/leewards for Premier, in addition to the longer Island courses. This is to make up for last year's having none and only racing four races. That's good for us.

Arriving yesterday arvo after scuffles with Russian tour group at the Immigration ("from Russia with shove..."), meet up with Grant for sail measurement, which find already done -- thanks to him and the boyz -- and handover of halyards, then comes in the usual afternoon squall and a few other boats start dragging.
Now in Regatta HQ, the Kata Beach Resort, forecast 9-ish knots in the morning and afternoon from the east. Have signed on to new North Sails forecasting facility, which they do in conjunction with Commmanders Weather. Link here. Rego's easy.
