DISAPPOINTMENT POTENTIALLY !
As has happened before, "Our Airline" (the re-vamped Air Nauru) has changed its schedule. In this case, the e-mailed change made it clear that it will be very difficult for a Marshall Islands team to travel here in reasonable time for the planned Tri-Rigger Championship on June 15/16. According to the new schedule (which cuts out Majuro for 13 days), the RMI team could get here on June 5th. but would need to stay until June 18th. Maybe they will agree to that, but who will feed them during the extra week ? And can they afford to be away from Majuro for that time ? One possible solution is for Air Marshall Islands to fly a special !
TRI-RIGGER reduced to BI-RIGGER ?
So what do we do ? Nauru should have no trouble in bringing a team - their arrangements fit the new schedule. So do we proceed with only two teams ? (Further news as it happens !)
MEDALS FROM OAA !
To show their support for this venture, OAA has agreed to provide enough medals for the competition plus an overall Team trophy. We hope to receive this generous donation before the competition !
