Tranquility base

The Port America's Cup is much calmer nowadays. Gone are the days when construction crews were working round the clock, rushing to finalize construction while trucks where incessantly moving earth and debris inside the harbor. Team bases are now being built only during weekdays, with the exception of Luna Rossa, and only the canal works require weekend activity. The last old buildings still remaining inside the harbor were torn down this morning, paving the way for the canal arrival inside Port America's Cup.

I also included some photos from inside the canal, taken during the regattas last month. One can see that spectators will be very close to the race course.

As far as the teams are concerned, only the Germans have moved out of Valencia, while the New Zealanders have wrapped their boat. All other teams are in their bases, training off Valencia's coast. Next week we'll try to be as close as possible to the training seesions, capturing the exciting match races between the team boats.
