470 Coach, Victor Kovalenko shared these photos and insight from the current training camp in China. 

"As you can see we have one more problem in Qingdao apart from light wind and strong current, it is seaweed. The local government has employed 240 fishing boats to clean Qingdao bay and they are working really hard but... Sailing is almost impossible now!"
 
Other days the fog has been so thick that a GPS has been needed to find the way back to shore.
 
Nathan Wilmot & Malcolm Page probably didn't think they would be sailing in conditions like these when they named their boat "Dead Calm!"
