Mood: Pumping with Adrenalin

Activities of da day!

- Christina’s Sick!!! Oh NO!!
- Capsize!
- Wednesday nite race! First!!
- Eileen’s Birthday at Fells Point

Christina’s mum called Steve this morning and told him that she is seriously down with fever.. 100+ Fahrenheit and will take her to the doctors.. Sob.. means no Christina today.. n no big boat racing with her on Wild Ducks! Dropped her a quick get well mail before I left the house for work.. Hope the fever will subside and she can be up doing the sailing groove soon!

Anyway.. again.. I took the 4 kids under me.. They did marvelously in the morning.. beautiful tacks and upwind sailing.. but.. they disappointed me so much in the afternoon.. when we joined the rest for a race.. sigh.. Chris capsized.. his airbags were loose.. gotta tow him back to drain the water out.. Alex’s too.. Meanwhile.. Eileen was on Chris’s Opti.. zipping up and down playing on it.. leaving the rest of the kids wondering what to do.. I seriously think that it is wrong.. They deserve much more.. Anyway.. it was Eileen’s birthday.. and the kids bought her some cakes. One coated with M&Ms.. topped with 6 pack of Lite Beer candles.. Haha.. and some Butter Goodness.. as she calls it.. Man.. was it sinful or wot.. pure indulgence.. *yummy*

I noticed dat there was this guy wearing white colour shirt and cap hanging arnd the club an I wonder who he was.. turns out that he is some fella that saw our website and ask if we conduct private lessons to get him sailing by Saturday. Man.. dat was a tall order.. Steve ask if I minded staying back to teach him sailing.. for some extra money.. said I don’t mind.. since I have nothing to do anyway..

We had to rush home after that.. because of a pending storm… the Windsurf measurement read 20.5 knots at one point of time.. dats pretty awesome.. too bad I’m not sailing. Anyway.. a storm hit.. while we were having dinner.. Angel’s hair pasta with Salmon.. I made a comment on whether they added Olive oil in the angel’s hair or not.. and steve joked.. Are u complaining about my food??? Haha.. oh well.. Olive oil is good.. it doesn’t make the pasta lump together. I’m easy anway…. It was still raining when we left for the race.. Mike called and said that the race will still be on.. Man.. am I glad we went or wot.. We got first!! I was appointed to call Tactics.. My favourite job! Talk only!! Hahaha.. so.. we got a beautiful start on the starboard.. right where we want to be.. read the headers and shifts quite well… rounded the mark first. Had a slight problem with the spinnaker.. cos the clew clip.. came right off.. darn.. we caught up on the leeward leg.. got the inside boat.. I called for the right hand side of the course to be favoured.. but.. we went up on a starboard tack.. the boats that went to the right.. later got a huge lifter.. that put them all ahead of us.. we screwed up again on the spinnaker run again.. it got twister.. and mike’s spinnaker got a little tear.. Kemp and bob had a good time arguing abt where the hole is.. and how and who should be packing it.. it was farnee.. well.. we caught up with “Hey Jude” towards the end of the mark.. we were behind by 46 seconds.. but after corrections.. we won them by a good minute! I din know this.. cos I din hear.. but Mike.. will buy everybody crabs and steak at Schultz’s if we got first!! But I got to buy Eileen her first legal beer tonite! Darnit!! There goes my free dinner!! Sigh.. oh well.. I get to go pub crawl.. I’m not a party animal.. but then again.. its good to experience la. Oh well.i rather experience food. Hahhaa But I really should have made the call to go on the right.. sigh.. if that is the case.. victory will be even sweeter.. I got problems making decisions..

Anyway.. Chrissy, Jules, Lauren and Eileen is gonna be my 4 beautiful companion tonite. Or so I thought.. turns out that Chrissy and Jules are still under age.. and can’t go into pubs. So.. Jules will play chauffeur.. hehe.. She din have money to buy Eileen a birthday present.. so.. she made her play chauffeur.. So.. she dropped us at Fell’s Point.. it used to be some port of some sort.. and sailors will just go down and drink… well.. the tradition was carried on.. the drinking part.. We went to this place called some Horse came on something.. bar.. boring.. bought Eileen a beer.. she was happy… went on to Max’s… to play pool.. got to know these two guy.. one Russian.. another Philippino.. Glem and Rico.. Glem bought Eileen a Blow Job.. dat was nice of him.. he looked like he was some drug addict.. and I was damn right.. he have been smoking weed the whole day.. aha… farnee. And warm sake.. oh well.. rich brats.. wEnt to a few other bars.. then a few others.. when we got bored… we took a cab over to Canton.. and man was the beer cheap over there or not… got to know this cool Bar tender.. called. Damn. I can’t remember her name.. haha.. she bought Eileen beer.. Gave us all a shot of something… it was nice. Some guy was chatting Eileen up.. and asked if he was getting laid tonite.. she was like.. no.. give me a reason why? N his reply? Cos I’m cute? I’m like.. puke!!! Anyway.. I had a nice time talking to Lauren.. she’s cool.. bUt these girl had some pretty interesting conversation going on.. quite open I must say.. not one bit shy abt it.. it was farnee.. I fell asleep on the way back in the car.. guess the race must have taken quite a toll on me.. IT was a pretty awesome race anyway… Very adrenalin Pumping!
