The spirit is in-crescendo and the sailing fiesta continues.[more]


Today we arrive, after the second race, to the middle of the event. Some sail numbers are writing history in the land of the Mayan.


The sun rises at 6:22 a.m. and many sailors wake up to enjoy the eye-catching panorama. Local fishermen’s wood boats with canvas sails depart to do their jobs offshore. In land, excellent breakfast, warming routines, sails tunes-up and couch instructions are in the “oven”.


The official watch marks 12:30 p.m. and the blast announces the start of the first race. As the past days, the wind comes from the NE turning slightly to N at 9 knts. The sky shares sun and clouds marking the 28 degrees (Celsius) with 6 miles of visibility and the barometer in 30.06 inches and steady.
 
In the third day of competition, these are the preliminary results of the first three positions per category:
