Back In Action (then back out again).

Well, after a 5 week lay off with the shoulder injury (and an ear and chest infection), I finally got back out on the water this week with the boys from SX Watersports www.sxwatersports.com , who came over to spend a week in the warm. Despite the mixed ability levels of the group we managed to score great conditions for everyone, ranging from lightish wind at Waikiki (ideal for Pete and Mo´s tacking classes), to 35 knots at Sotavento where the advanced sailors, Chris and Mike, got to grips with vulcans and 360s, and Mo overcame that formidable hurdle the waterstart. In the wide range of conditions, everyone´s sailing improved noticeably over the week and I think they were a pretty happy bunch as they dragged themselves onto that aeroplane yesterday- shattered! We even managed to get two sessions of SUPing in on day 3 at Majanicho and Rocky Point, in case they weren´t going to be tired enough as it was... The only downside to a fantastic week of good sailing and great craic was that my shoulder tore again on the last day and it´s agony again, so it´s back to the drawing board- physio and rest to try and be OKish for the Easter Clinic next starting weekend, gonna be a close one. A huge well-done to the four lads who literally gave it their all for six consecutive days and I hope they all enjoyed it as much as I did (except for the shoulder bit, obviously)- hope you get some wind soon so you can bust out your new stunts....
