Day Four of Training with Bunny

Things have been going extremely well with our training here in Victoria. Our new training sails arrived in the mail yesterday, so we have some decent cloth to look at now. We have gotten into a routine with a bit of boatwork each morning before heading on the water. We have scaled back the fitness a bit so as not to become too tired while training. Yesterday and today we had a mixture of super light, light and light-medium breeze. Bunny has been pushing us really hard, following behind in the coach boat and giving us constant direction. Then just when you think you can't handle it anymore, he says. "Well, that was good. Really good." And then you feel awesome, and realize you just learned about five new things in the space of ten minutes. Hannah is proving to be a natural at 470 sailing and I am extremely impressed with her vertical learning curve! One more day of training tomorrow and then we will take Saturday off for some rest, then another four days of training with Bunny.
