Mandy did it, Martin did not.
Mandy blew the doors out, and with the greatest of ease. My day began early, running around the island with Kirk Krack in a rented van on logistical missions of infinite complexity and criticality. Mandy began hers with gentle stretching, along with some inspirational DVD and music content.
Martin was up early, editing video on his laptop for transmission to the PFD website.
Shortly after 11:00 AM, Kirk Krack sat with AIDA judges Bill Stromberg and Nicolas Laporte for the mandatory review of event plans, safety and rescue deployments, and AIDA regulations. The meeting lasted about 30 minutes.
Soon after that, it was time to go to the dock, board the two dive boats and head for blue water.
The mood was relaxed, the athletes and crew focussed. There had been some concern that the high winds and rough seas experienced several times during the train-up weeks would complicate matters, but the ocean was more or less calm and only the gentlest of offshore breezes blew out of the northeast.
There were some clouds, some rather dark and menacing ones on the horizons and more than a few obscuring the sun overhead. Martin didn’t like the overcast. “ I prefer clear skies”, he remarked. “ I like the sun to warm me while I breathe up on the surface.”
