| I preparativi fervono, sulle banchine. Chi lava e stiva casse di frutta, chi va in testa d'albero, chi lucida gli inox. Dall'alto del molo, le banchine sembrano un formicaio impazzito di uomini, donne, alberi e bandiere. Il clima e' di festa. Tutti gli equipaggi sfoggiano le magliette con i colori ed il nome della propria barca. Il comitato di regata sta ultimando i controlli di sicurezza su ogni imbarcazione. Chi e' in categoria Racing ha avuto la "fortuna" di essere ispezionato con la lente di ingrandimento dal rappresentante del RORC. Questo ha comportato una attenzione, quasi eccessiva, alle dotazioni di sicurezza con obbligo di acquisti all'ultima ora...Ogni giorno giungono mail come quella che riporto sotto. A presto! |
