Trapani Cento Cup 2007
Yesterday we went to the Trapani Cento Cup. Unfortunately we missed the start of the regatta by only a few minutes. It also started raining. After having searched for an hour (as no one was available at the information desk) we found the boats in open sea, small like miniatures and we couldn’t really understand what was going on, but at least it stopped raining.
