And there's more from Margarita

So very nearly there...although those shots are off camera!

Diary entry received 29th January 2009

ITS OFFICIAL – I HAVE RE-NAMED THE CARVE JIBE!!!

(I’m under the yellow sail – I would say I was body dragging

but I told the instructor that is a stupid exercise I have only just worked out how to stay on the board – why leave it on purpose???)

TO THE SWIM JIBE –
Yes I have made it round some though – typically just not on camera! Still marginal conditions here (6.4-7.4m sailing, but still windy enough every afternoon) – jumping is coming along quite well though; my fin even leaves the water now!

And just to prove I don’t spend the whole time falling in:

Gary enjoying Margarita - wouldn't we all?!

Diary Update... Janury 24th 2009

Not hugely windy – back on the 6.4m again today but still a bit of fun to be had – Yesterday I sailed a 97L board, albeit briefly but what an achievement and this morning practiced uphauling a 107L, still need to brave these little sinkers in a bit more wind (or rather chop, the waves seem massive here-small today though!)

Gavin and Candice – Jacks from Neilson Dahab came up to me on the water yesterday, she’s here playing around until March then off to work again. Reevsie is still working in the office and deciding what to do next season!

Very happy sail yesterday – I’m now down to 115L happily (ish) – wave boards here I come!!!
You’ll all be glad to hear its raining in paridise
