SILLY SHIT

*^&(%&%&
*Y(^%$#@
Sailors in the afternoon gamers at night
Brokebacking-
How the sea looks in 13 knots
High pressure and 35 knots. Shite!
The beach/bitch
Took this picture on the gale warning day



I'm back , after a week of training camp in melbourne
sailing 420 overseas is so much different from sailing opti
overseas because its so tiring and in opti, 15 knots is nth
much but in 420 10 knots is something. Learn alot of things
this trip and i'm grateful for returning back home safely
but sadly, with a broken nail on my middle finger.


Day one was the coldest i would say cos we had to rig
up the boat from scratch and it took 3 hours and not to
mention, it was raining. Mark took us to sofias, a pasta
restaurant for dinner. The serving size was weird, small
and large only but the other sailors advised me to take small
finally the food came, i got farking shocked. The small pasta in
sofias is like adding 4-5 plates of pasta mania's pasta together
and whats worst is Sara and Maxi ordered large and they finished.
I was 3 spoons from finishing it but it gave up.

Day two, we spend another 2 hours rigging up the boat and
markings. The lasers launched first and when the 420s were
abt to launch, there was no wind so we played soccer.

Day three- can't remember

Day four- Gale warning, 40 knots

Day 5 - We sailed morning and afternoon, the wind in the morning
was abt 13-16 knots, 18 knots gust. Afternoon was much more shiok
6-12 knot and we did small course, no reaching! yay.

Day 6- Sailed only in the morning cos Craig, our coach from aust
had to fly back to sydney and we had to transport the trailer
from briton yacht club to sandringham yacht club, the place
where we are sailing.

Day 7- We sailed 6 races against the aussies including their national
champion. I cant recall what we finished accept we got 2,3,2 out of
7 boats. when back to shore at 1 to unrig, it took an hour.

Day 8- Woke up at 930 and yu khing, our mental skills trainer
drove us to town and halfway there, disaster. *^&*%*!!

Oh did i mention? brokeback's the theme for this trip
