Summer time..

The summer events seemed to come and go in a flash!  it was only a couple of weeks ago i was heading to Pozo to prepare and now a month has passed!  After Gran Canaria i headed straight to Tenerife, it's quite a nice island and one i've visited a few times before.


The sailing in Tenerife can be much better than in Gran Canaria when it's on, this year we had some reasonable swell and the wind was pretty good too, much lighter than GC but still enough for a 5.3, 5.0 and even 4.7 at times.


The event was quite difficult again as i seem to be drawing tough people at the moment, Dario Ojeda in the Single elimination second round and then up against Jules Denel in the double elimination, i could have sailed a little better but in fairness he's sailing really good right now and had a very good heat. 


Still, it was nice to get the contest done and out the way at the beginning of the week as it left the rest of the week open for some holiday time with the missus!  Dany Bruch and the event sponsors made sure we were all really well looked after for the rest of the week with plenty of meals out, good parties and a free VIP ticket to the Siam Waterpark!


Fun Cabezo Sailing again!

Go Pro'ing it up!

Since getting home there's been an awful lot of work getting done but i've managed to squeeze in a few days sailing and SUPing around the UK to keep my eye in.
We very nearly scored some epic sailing.....

huge walling lefts.....

Wind blown tops...

The intrepid explorers!!.....

We've even scored a couple of Rhosniegr days, it's nice to get some practice in even when it's mid summer...
