On a blogging diet
Yes, its been a while since I’ve blogged. But to tell you the truth
there hasn’t been all that many newsworthy events happening.
We’ve been training a fair amount lately, and even went for an
early sail today - 7.30 on the water!
There are just stacks of 49ers around for the European
championships which are running from Torbole. 92 boats racing in
four groups at this stage. Plenty of close racing to watch.
Bunny the Aussie 49er coach had a few tips for us in a session a
few days back. Some different theories on how to sail the boat -
very European techniques coming from a Pom. It’ll be interesting to
see how they go against some of the quickest teams around.
And the Capricorns have made a visit to Garda for the German
Nationals. The new boat looks good, even with all the crass
faux-Italian livery on one of them. Not sure how they’ll go in the
regatta - will have to wait and see.
Oh yes, Dave is also attempting to diet in order to stay light
enough to be competitive come the Worlds next month. We’ve dubbed
it the farcical diet, since it seems to entail more food
consumption than before. Interesting theories.
Back to the routine…
