It has been super windy here. We need smaller sails and Gold needs new underwear!!! We’ve been on our 3.7s overpowered since we last blogged and we have some serious new move news! Tom has learned Spocks and Clew-first Spocks and Ricky and Tom are starting to man up and try forwards.
Wednesday was OTT windy. Only clew-first moves and forwards were possible as far as I was concerned but Tom and Ricky kept trying Spocks and have some berr grim bruises to show for it. We have got some pretty good overpowered footage for our video now.
Yesterday was still 3.7 full power but not quite so mental. I windsurfed rather badly but it will forever be remembered for Tom’s over reaction to a couple of small dolphins. I was on the bank and saw the dolphins about 15yards from tom and shouted shark! Tom, when he saw the fins, entered serious crisis mode, quickly and efficiently up hauled and sailed as fast as he could to the bank. Apparently he was scared of his board being mistaken for a seal. Ricky and I tried to go and windsurf with them but Ricky was incapacitated by laughter at Gold’s gullabillity.
Ricky is happy because our generator is back online with a new spark plug so our evenings of lounging can start again.
There is a kite-surfing competition being run from our beach this weekend. They are trying to make us move our tent but we are standing our ground against the spread of teabaggers.
Thats all for now. Keeping it Real!
