sail-less

Still cant fit sailing into my schedule, wait...schedule? I liked it better when there was nothing to do or needed to be done, so I could always revert to sailing. But things have changed, Im now trying to make some extra money on the side by coaching and giving sailing lessons. as well as having to study for my GCSE's in 4 1/2 weeks, as well as the numerous trips that my parents have planned. yes Im going to the Musandam for a dive trip on the weekend, so I will have to fold on the UAE Nationals! 

Dont think I will miss much sailing though, Chris who was going to do some boat tuning runs is now on his Puma Ocean Racing all expenses paid Holiday in the Rio. lucky sod. So he wont be back before long, but all is good, hes promised me that he will bring me back some puma gear :) 

I lost my camera the other day, but the agony is that i dont know where, so i might not have lost it but just cant find it. which means that I cant make some movies...i was feeling very creative this week. 

Word on the street is that volvo wanna bring the race next year to Abu Dhabi:

The Pros, we get them over here, advertise sailing in the middle east, have better chance of some high profile sponsorships, maybe get to sail the boats, and enjoy their presence. 

The Cons, the harbour will need dredging out (like when the alinghi came over), we will have to drive to Abu Dhabi to see them, they will be bored shitless in the gulf and they will spend forever in the 0 knots Musandam.

I hope to get on the water soon, until then good sailing
