Sailing Weekend
2 full days racing and some very good wind and waves ...
Saturday was 1 race day going south into Indonesian waters and back. We had the line honors but got 2nd place on corrected time due to a swan 50 (I think) getting 1st .. it was a good and long day sailing.
Sunday was a good day and we got a 4th place getting line honors again but the swan got us again and a MUM30 (that sailed really well and had perfect conditions) called Panic.
Both days we had about 20 knots of breeze with big swells on saturday and some good surfing moments.
It was great to be back with the crew in action.
Next saturday we sail again. I will try posting a video (as soon as I get it) from saturday that one of the crew shot. Looks pretty cool !
Here is the video:

Almost back to LIFE
I am back. Let's see what's new...
It seems like a lot of things are getting into the right place lately and that feels good.
My sister is pregnant and I get more excited everyday about being an uncle. MAITÊ is her name. . . I cannot wait to see her and Juli as a mom. It's been very hard to get images from her pregnancy but I can only hope it will get better with time. I think I may have to break in and install some webcams in their place next time I am around.
Tomorrow I get my 3rd passport... I know .. kindda old news since I mentioned this so many times but I think the passport kindda represents the end(or beginning) of a big journey that started in 1998 with my 23rd birthday going to Vancouver... seems like yesterday and at the same time ages ago.
Tomorrow I also will finish my surgery payments wich closes another chapter, this one of not so great experiences. I will have to repeat one more thing here... TAKE GOOD (VERY GOOD) care of your knees.
This week also marked something very important to me. Milena learned to kitesurf. I cannot wait for her to be back here and we can start sailing trips together.
This saturday I finally get back to my sports.... I AM SO EXCITED. I am sailing a regatta called Horsburgh Challenge (http://www.safyc.org.sg/horsburgh/ ) onboard Foxy Lady, that Sydney 40 I posted a few times here. It will be awesome to be back in the water with the crew. It will be a very long day with a 69nm (nautical miles) race. We pretty much sail from one end to the other of Singapore passing a mark in international waters so we have to do immigration before racing at 5:45 am (ouch !). If the wind holds up to what's been doing the past weeks, we should get about 30 knots... and it will be a blast !
Countdown starts to our Vietnam trip... the group is set and the boat is rented, but that story will be for another day.
