My initial plan of spending a windy spring in the UK to get dialed into the cross onshore conditions before the canaries is somewhat backfiring! I've sailed perhaps 3 times in Ireland since Maui, that's it! not a single day at home... Yet... I'm eternally hopeful?
In the meantime i've been keeping myself entertained by going to radio 1's big weekend in Bangor, which was gloriously sunny and a superb weekend, best of all it was free... Watched, Paolo Nutini, Kids in Glass Houses - the best performers i thought?, Rhianna, Pixie Lott, some other poppy chewing gum for the ears type artists before the night finished with Vampire Weekend and Pendulum. All good fun in the sun!
The rest of the time has been spent working hard to save some money for the summer and the canaries but rather ominously there's still no confirmation of either GC or Tenerife happening yet, which is concerning to say the least!
After the football season ended i had to keep fit somehow so i bought a bike, yes i did get lycra'd up but i still don't feel comfortable walking around in public with it on!! it's just wrong...
Taking some time to get used to my clips on the pedals too, a tricky mountain climb up a narrow pathway had me falling, with the feet getting stuck at critical moments resulting in a comedy sideways fall into a prickly bush on more than one occasion, embarrassing..
If the wind doesn't return soon I'm going to have to get on a plane to find some!
Perhaps the new JP-Australia SUP's arriving will make the wind come back?
