Since Sunday 60 sailors have been training on the Sainte Mary bay. Racing atmosphere, smiles on faces and strong wind were on the site. They've discovered the sailing area and optimized their sailing.
"Of course we had capsize due to strong wind but the water is warm" said the kiwis!
Yesterday night there was the opening ceremony. Each delegation have a small presentation. Australian team shout the AUSI AUSI!, the New Zealand team made a strong Haka... in front Fiji and local sailors. A great moment spent all together.
You can have a look to the photo of each delegation here.
