FINALE COL BOTTO, The Swan has flown in the eye of the storm! - Day 2 Report from the field
This morning AP signal was again up, but justified by the long night: the last lighting arrived at 06:30L closing the big storm that has heated the coast for the evening and night.
But morning bring suggestions and on the horizon “L’Estérel” had showed a slot of opportunity to race.
After a mild 3rd day (I wasn’t there), the press office had the
mood a bit down, and crews were worried of the arrive of the wind or another storm.
As I’m local, my worries were when the slot would be closed and we would be under the stormy shower (already had the experience the October 3rd 2015 flooding,
