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.
