takapuna
Well, I am at Takapuna, the beer is really good and the rum is going down too well. Grant is leading me astray and if my results are poor I will put it all down to him. Prediction is about 10 knots for first two days then 15 knots. Its about 15 knots out there […]
Vegas
Well the worlds are over.
Sailed ok, learnt alot and can now focus on my weaknesses. Overall I should be pretty happy, managed to beat everyone that competed at the worlds, so that gives me a bit of encouragement.
Unfortunetly my early results were pretty poor which kept me to 23rd overall (I think).
Actually in my last […]

Packed and going
Well I am packed (hopefully haven’t forgotten too much) and fly out today. Spray jacket is out, seems like California is going through a heat wave and given the amount of gear I am taking I need to be realistic on space.
Pick up the charter boat tomorrow, which had better not leak. Then catch up with […]
Off to the Radial Laser Worlds
