More than anything else the sensation is one of perfect peace mingled with an excitement that strains every nerve to the utmost, if you can conceive of such a combination." Wilbur Wright

Burj Dubai

Right, i am blogging again, not sure why but hey ho. So lots has been happenning since I blogged off. I suppose I should give a bit of an update. Firstly, I am blogging off my brothers domain which is basically a bit of a Dubai sailing site that he had running a while ago but lost motivation and got a bit dispondant with the human handbrakes that float around Dubai talking total shite (myself included). I also changed job after I got back from sunny Weymouth so I actually had lots of things to do for the last 9 months without having to fill my day with a blog.

After i deleted my last blog, i had a second thought that i should probably have just left it dormant rather than deleting all the stuff i had done. I did not realise how many things i had on there and adding to the fact that i am a stupid bastard, i cannot figure out how to work this new wordpress domain thingy instead of the ‘I am a total computer tard and use blogspot domain’.The worlds site is blogspot, just to make my life easy.

Now its summer, its boring again, my boat has gone to the USA, i checked on the map and it is 100% the other side of the world from here, so Barack, if you wanna press the green button, do it while i am in the states and give me a passport, at least it will save on the airfreight home aiiii?

I am loving all the information heavy moth blogs that have come out since this time last year, my mission is to give absolutley nothing in the way of technology on this thing, basically just a few (maybe a lot) of rants about things that annoy me and possibly people that annoy me. I will try my very best not to rant about things that will affect the moth worlds here and get my into any trouble with the high and mighty of Dubai sailing society, although i seem to do that just by being the owner of a moth. And someone in the west said Dubai was liberal, PAH!

One thing that got me a bit IRATE the other day at 4am (was up early for a run and went to see if my bro and a few others were still in the night club) are cockblockers. Some sleezy tool that just gets in the way on purpose. This chick was talking to me, she asked me my name but did not believe i was called Figjam???!!!??? anyway, we were chatting and she looked hot…ish. So this self proclaimed protector of hers bowls over and gives me the old heave ho, now I am not one to take these things lightly so got a little annoyed. I have all of a sudden run out of things to say….. basically i dislike cock blockers!

I am sure most don’t care, the Dubai clan form. Well my worlds form guide is as follows. Great white hope will suprise a whole lot of you Olympic and AC kids. I broke my boat about a zillion times this year, did not do a great amount of sailing and to top it all off i dislocated my top rib last week! I shall be going slowly but enjoying some cool weather and chilling out.

In the mean time, I will try and figure out how to add pictures behind the title, add linky things, i want to add music too but i think that might be a step too far.

Lastly an update from Sultan and the dhows. Sultan is the 22 foot champ this season, did terribly in the 40 footers. He had an up and down season in the 60 footers, having 4th as his best result when it was blowing and straight line speed was in need, no gybes in the race meant no team work needed. The big race that mattered he would have been 2nd or 3rd if he did not blow his mainsheet track in half. Bit of a mare but his new boat is a complete weapon, next season is a goer.
