Today we have a resting day so we are bathing in the Indian Ocean. Current air temperature is 38 degrees celcius. Tomorrow we will start building our race depot.

Johans engine loosed power during the time training but we think that we’ve solved the problem now. He finished at 12th place in the time training. Jay Price was heavly trapped by the arab drivers during the time training and Thani Al Gemzy has pole position in tomorrows race.

This monday (5th) we will start our trip down to the United Arab Emirates for race number three and four in the President Cup. The Asian race tracks have longer straight parts than we are used to so we’re in need of more speed. Therefore we’ve invested in a new propeller that hopefully will arrive before our departure. We will …

A little bit warmer than a swedish summer and very windy, that’s the situation down here in Saudi Arabia at the moment. Due to the wind only one training has been completed and all time training races has been cancelled. The plan for tomorrow is to start early in the morning with a free training and then go for the …

The race in Assiv, Saudi Arabia is the next to come in the President Cup 2007. We will start our 24 hour (!!) trip on saturday and it seems like we must wait at several airports before landing in Assiv. Rumors tell that the hotels in Assiv is fully booked so a camp of bedouin tents will be our home …

Our second boat is away for a paint job. Contact Åke Österberg if you want to rent the boat this season.

Finally home again after a tough race in Qatar. We have both positive and negative experiences from the race. The positive was that Johan showed that he belongs to the upper half of the lineup. The negative was that we blew our best engine during time training. We changed engines before the race but sadly the spare engine was very …
