Practice Day One

We've been enjoying the chilly, windy, ever changing weather in Ireland so far. Luckily upon some good advice of friends and family we brought plenty of layers and per the locals we shed them and adorn them on a regular basis. Practice day is also registration, get your boat, and get on the water as fast as you can day. Our team leader, Tovi Kiss, did a masterful job organizing passports and paperwork to get the team their ID's and passes into the boat yard. Team DQ were among the first 29ers on the water and actually practiced a bit more than any other 29er logging two solid hours in 13-15 knots. The local wind recorder said gusts to 22, but we decided to not believe that tale.
