Well.. woke up bright and early.. had boring cereals for breakfast.. keke.. that hapepns when U Laze arnd the bed john.. Anyway.. packed a quick lunch.. I'm getting good at it.. and BORED OF SANDWICHES!!
 
Did the normal cycle there.. I'm getting really tired .. tired muscles.. and oh.. Steve told me that Eileen will be late this morning.. because she had an eye appointment that she forgot about.. oh well.. no big deal.... SO.. I get to run things my way for once! and actually teach them something! So.. I gave them 25 minutes to unload the Trailer and rig up their boat.. to which they did.. pretty impressive! they commented that that was the fastest that they've ever did that.. Then I went on to review the last race.. I was harsh on them.. telling them that it is not because they did better.. it is only because the better kids weren't there.. wahahah.. I'm such an ass.. but I've gotta make them keep trying.. they got a tendency to slack when they think that they are good.. or so I think.. Oh well..I'm a grumpy old man.. haha.. So I gotthem out to the water.. wind wasn't fantastic.. Got them to circle arnd my boat..talked them thru roll gybing and rounding the boat properly..and how to make use of the boat instead of the rudder to turn the boat... it went well with them..they learnt something.. 'cept for ross.. cos he din manage to come round my boat at all.. sigh. I want more time with him.
 
Got in.. had lunch.. Eileen went off to cut up sail ties for Melissa... 'cept that melissa commented that they are all of a different length.. keke I showed them Wind.. some part that I would like them to see.. and just as I was about to leave.. Jeff's dad showed up in his truck. with an Optimist for Jeff!! Man.. its awesome.. itsa 98 Vanguard.. but it was very well kept... he got it for 1400.. I thought it was a pretty good deal... Anyway. we cycled home.. had pork chops for dinner.. I thought it was very nice.. then Steve and I went to race..
 
I told Mike earlier that I'll beat him today.. and told steve that I'll beat him too! hahah wot arrogance!! I sneaked a candy bar for Chrissy.. who was gonna be my crew for the day.. cos I knew she haven't had dinner yet.. A hungry crew is not gonna be a very good crew.. haha.. but basically.. I know it sucks to be hungry.. She was already rigging up a boat when I got there.. we finished up.. launched.. and sailed upwind to check it out.. she proposed a way to do roll tack.. to get in sync with the crew.. the counting method.. i thought that was pretty neat. it worked pretty well.. we got some neat roll tacks down.. well.. we got 2nd overall.. 5 races.. 12 boats.. we came in 2 / 2 / 2 / 4 / 3 respectively.. I felt like being n ass dat day.. and kinda arrogant.. so..  yeah.. Chrissy and I sailed well.. she is a very very good crew.. very patient.. very willing to learn.. and.. she's fun! in the 2nd race or something... Eileen was 4th.. she saild up.. i was chatting with Chrissy.. she saw her best friend, Jules, Eileen's sister and gave her a V! for 2 and victory! haha.. Eileen saw that.. and she went.. 'MAn, I'm telling u, U were pinching!' and I'm like.. er.. maybe I was..but I think I had better boat speed still... cos I remember very clearly dat I was on top of her. and I covered her.. haha... so she said NO! U din have better boat speed.. I'm like ok.. fine.. Well. I think I just came in 2nd in that race.. and where were u??? ?WAhahah! Big kick.. but i bet she's gonna come at me tm. haha.. hard time!! WATch OUT JOHn! Mummy say not to piss girls off! Anyway.. we had a big kick outta it.. she din wanna talk to me after that. hehe... oh well.. anyway.. I beat dave. I beat Eileen.. I beat steve and Mike.. man. it felt good.. but honestly.. I think I was just lucky.. i din sail very well.. I missed out on alot of stuffs and made alot of mistakes.. oh well.. I guess the rest din capitalise on it..
 
Sweet victory...
 
I should have match raced the first boat.. darnit.. it would have been more fun. hehe. maybe I should do it next time..
 
Melissa's dad came up to me and said that Hey! U guys actually taught her something.. I thought tat was pretty neat.. it is nice to know that the msg is getting across..
 
thoughts of the day: I had this rivalry among Eileen and I.. to constantly prove who is better... I would have liked it if there was more friendliness to it.. rather than a constant struggle to see who is right and who is better.. i hate the feeling.. i just want peace..
