Waka Racing is refreshed and rejuvenated after a good New Years break. It hardly seems like a year since we were here in the beautiful city of Perth. We are here to defend our 2009 Warren Jones Youth regatta title.
Arriving yesterday we took a few trips to the airport to pick up the crew, dropped a couple of Kg’s from the heat each and then slipped into the Perth Marae for a fantastic nights sleep. The ‘Fremantle Doctor’ seemed to be on Steroids when we arrived as it blew 30-40 kts until midnight last night.
Today was practice day, a more typical Perth day. 32 degrees, the Easterly morning breeze dying around midday then pumping in at 20+ kts this afternoon from the SW. We had a smooth training session this morning and are confident going into the start of the regatta tomorrow.
