We had arrived in L.A. on 20th afternoon, our foreign coach Ryan met us at the airport. He led us to the Herz to rent two cars and then we drove to the Jolly Roger Hotel. Nice staying here, the sunshines everyday with a good wind condition of nearly 6-12 knots. However, we have forced a big trouble for we couldn't get the charter boats these days prior to the world championships and have to wait till 28th when the registration begins, for the reason that we hadn't signed the 'charter extension' on the internet a month ago. As this is our first time to attend such a world championship of the class of Radial, so we don't know it at all while in China.
If we don't have the boats then what should we do here of coming a week before the worlds? Just staying here without sailing? No, we sure cannot. Then we asked our foreign coach for help. Fortunately we now have four boats to sail in turns even they are the equipments which we will use for the worlds. We have already sailed for two days and the thing that surpring us the most is it the immensity of the harbour----it spend us nearly one hour to sail in and out of the harbour! The sights around are all very beautiful, but considering the long time we have to sail with everyday, I donno whether I can enjoy it until racing days.

Coach Ryan will begin to teach us tomorrow, hope we can learn a lot from him. So wait for my futher writings. :)
