Ive been pretty busy as of late getting my career back on track after everything being put on hold last year, not to mention getting engaged and consequently having to do the rounds visiting family, hosting party etc etc but id love to come down that way again soon for a sail (not many cats up here), not sure when ill get a chance though yet, next wee end ive been given a crew spot in the Surf to City so ill be busy with that, first big yacht race for me, so im keen for that, plus its on a fast boat (its a planning mono-yacht that basically sails like a big skiff, usually beats me around the course!) so should be fun, and unfortunately last weekend i broke both of my tiller extensions, one before the race, and one during (i thought i was still hooked onto the trapeze wire ... apparently i wasnt..... but i was still hanging onto the tiller extension, hence its now broken state ...), not my fondest race (rediculous wind shifts + 9kt tides resulting in being pushed onto a mark, collisions with sandbars, tillers breaking etc etc) so needless to say ive got a few things to do/replace before ill be back on the water.
