After a week of training the moment is there now. This afternoon the first day of the World Cup Miami will take place. We have a late afternoon schedule with 14:00 starts everyday. The wind is forecasted light, so typically Miami conditions. We had a nice training period and feel comfortable to start this afternoon. The main points for this week are the focus and communication, we worked hard on that the past days and we will use that this week.

When we arrived in Miami everything was going as planned. But after a few days, in the middle of the night, I started to feel sick and couldn\'t hold any food inside my body for a few days. Bad timing, because the US Nationals were about to start. We tried to sail as many races as possible, but the first day after some waiting on the water we decided to go in. The second and third day we sail 4 races and I was feeling much better already. I\'m up to normal dinners again and getting stronger and stronger.
For now there is a week training on the program, starting today. It seems we get some Miami conditions again, light winds and warm weather. We will training till the weekend and monday the World Cup will start. We are gonna make sure we are fit and fresh by then!

First of all, happy new year to all of you! We hope you had a great christmas and new year with family and friends. After we came back from Perth we had a little break to sort some things out. Because of our results in 2011 the funding for TeamSteven in 2012 will be shortened. This means we have to make good plans how to proceed our campaign in 2012 to be able to qualify for London!
After some meetings and thinking we are really happy with the program we have and we are looking forward to go on the water again! The program is still on the highest level and luckily we don\'t have to make any concessions towards London!
Sunday we left Amsterdam to warmer weather. Miami it is! We are preparing the boat now and tomorrow will be the first day on the water. Coming friday we will start with the US Nationals, I will try to find a website where you can follow the results. After the US Nationals we have one week of training before the World Cup starts here.
We will keep you posted!
