Well of course Kieler Woche is famous for a mix of weather and this year’s edition seems to be following the pattern – stunning sunshine with high temperatures gave way last night to thunderstorms and stormy conditions.  Today all racing has been cancelled – the offshore classes went out for one race but found the changeable conditions very difficult.  Although it was relatively flat water there were persistent wind speed changes from 20 to 40 knots and back again.  The Race Committee eventually decided to call it a day after only one race.

So, the web networks are all busy with people catching up with their Internet time and e-mails …….. the best network available is provided by Helly Hansen, a free secure service – thanks Helly Hansen!
