Lets get straight to the point here. I hate planes. I was in Doha yesterday for work, and isnt it always the way that when u go away or have an unavoidable non sailing related thing to do its windy? I’m sure ze boys had a lovely day on the water, my boat stayed in park firme for the day.
Why is it when you travel nothing ever goes to plan? Firstly my taxi was late. Then I got stuck in the immigration queue in Doha for a while and was almost very late for where I was going. On the way back I was sat in front of a bulkhead so my seat would not go back and I had a little child in front of me with some rocking disease that involved her banging her head backwards against her seat for an hour and a half. Thrill. Then the plane takes 35 minutes to taxi cause of pre mentioned wind and landing the oppsite direction to normal. Finally when you think you are being clever and standing right next to the door of the bus you are sure is going to open and get to the front of immigration line, other side opens and you are last. Hmmm. Travelling by boat is much better.
Boats and people are here, new gear being tested too. Thinking about having a bbq on tuesday for anyone that is around at the house. Warm pool, warm hot tub, free beer, just bring meat. Im taking it easy this week in preparation for the party in barasti on friday where we have to figure out how to make the puma moth’s float in the water on their own. Suggestions welcome, we have a fwe idea’s… Been thinking about the slalom event as well. Have been thinking to have two mirrored courses and have one on one shoot outs with 2 minute starting guns. Like a kockout and then have a best of three or mini MOTH Cup final on the lay day bbq event. Or should we just keep the same format. Anyone that has organised one alreayd is more than welcome to help…. more to the point… PLEASE help us haha.
Take it easy people.
Couple of big dumbells hanging off the main foil might do the trick.
Sandbag or brick tied to the main foil? Should keep it upright….
