Over 200 small boats in the bay to welcome them in and 20,000 people in the docks, even though it was 2 in the morning on a tuesday, not bad for a city of less than 100,00

I bet that was a sight to see.I am looking forward to the olympic sailing,although Weymouth isn't that far from me I doubt I will see it "live" as it will be next to impossible to get there but hopefully we will get some decent coverage as we do so well in it.Although far from the expertise of the guys & girls who make up the squad I used to love racing dinghies in my youth & love watching it on tv whenever I can.
