America's Cup blog: Weather's nice but where's the beer

Well it was another wobbly day in Valencia.

Three races took place on the northern course while two were postponed on the
southern course.

Of course, Team New Zealand were on the south course so their hitout against Mascalzone Latino was postponed.

Sensitive, new age Kiwi Harold Bennett (hee hee) was the head race officer on the south course and was seen zooming all over the show looking for wind.

It was joked that a tracker should be put on Harold's boat so we could keep on eye on him on virtual spectator.

He was last seen heading for Ibiza.

Team New Zealand's race against Mascalzone will now take place after flight two today.

Mascalzone Latino beat Team New Zealand in the first race of the Louis Vuitton Cup so the Kiwis will be out for revenge.

The weather in Valencia is still quite cool.

It will be really nice when it warms up, it will also be really nice when the wind blows - otherwise Harold is going to wear out his boat.

However the most disturbing news to come out of Valencia today was that the Scaffolding bar - our local pub across the road from the port which ACM have used scaffolding to hang a ginormous coca cola banner - has run out of beer.

That's it we are coming home.
