Well.. Monday night race was a blast.. Had Corey for crew.. I was abit apprehensive about sailing.. but I was itching to go.. changed the normal tiller extension out for my super long 48" one.. its kinda hard to control with that.. esp during the run.. I had a feel adventures.. I finished 1st in the first race.. I din give room to Steve in the 2nd.. i was nice not to luff him up... but yet he scored me dsq.. i'm disappointed.. oh well. 2nd in the 3rd race.. then I could have finished 2nd.. but i decided to be more aggressive about it and went to windward to Mike.. and hitting his shroud in the process bugger.. and he din give me room to finish. i went back to do my turn.. and finihsed 5th.. then i finshed 2nd the last race.. oh well.. it was a nice night.. lovely sunset..

Steve ran me over to the chiropractor after work.. dat fella took like a whole buncha xrays.. it must be like twice over the total amout of xrays i had in my entire life!! buggger.. out to get the insurance company... anyway.. he din do anything.. and sent me home and had me set for another appointment for tomorrow.. sigh.. we went to meet deborah for dinner with mike.. to discuss some marketing strategy.. it was interesting to hear the ideas that she have and stuff.. She's a mum of a kid that offered her free services in xchange for some discount for next year summer's camp or something. She's pretty neat.. We stopped by an outdoor shop .. they have some nice sales going on.. too bad steve wasn't the shopping type.. and he does make it known. so.. yaeh.. din buy anything..sigh. was tempted..

So.. Wednesday.. Andy's dad called and say that he willnot be coming ever to the camp. good news for the kids.. great news for me.. at least he wouldn't be that much of an influence over his sister.. and she sailed the morning.. she did great.. and I had to leave... and after that.. she refused to sail.. oh well.. dats cos we capsized her on purpose in the morning.. haha.. what has to be done has to be done.. i'm the devil.. as usual.. Chrissy ran me home to susan.. and I screwed up the appointment.. it was to be at 3 instead of 1.. tsk.. had to go back again.. i'm sure susan isn't pleased. The chiropractor recommended 25 freaking visits.. I ask him to go FO.. oh well.. I manage to get a book at the library for 25cents.. dirt cheap..i think its called A Man and A boy.. i wanted to read the book sometime back.. but hey! 25 cents super cheap.. anyway.. the stupid bank wouldn't cash my check cos they require my passport. oh well..

Wednesday night race.... it was great.. great weather.. we had a decent start.. there was some confusion if we had started early.. and that drew some attention away from us.. and we slowed down. I made a bad call to tack..into a header..and i din ask to tack back..we over layed the mark quite a fair bit.. we finished 3rd.. If Liquid Limit is OCS..which the committee said they were.. but never put it down in writiing.. we will be 2nd.. oh well.. not bad for all those lousy calls.. sigh.. lousy tactician..

Thursday.. Vicky.. she finally decided that she loves sailing. and kept asking to capsize.. oh well.. what a sudden change of heart.. I certainly hope that she'll maintain that position on friday.. I'm glad that we are able to change her mind.. I guess it must be the swimming sessions that helped abit.. she played in the water with the rest of the girls and she prolly realise that there isn't really any harm in the water and she became more comfortable... I gave them a challenge to do a synchronised sail by for their parents..a nd suddenly she have the confidence to sail.. I'm really glad that that is working out... I dun really see them being able to actually do the sequence that i would have liked... I guess I'll change to naother one.. need to brain storm.. hehe..

Anyway.. Thursday night race went well.... I finished 3rd behond 2 470.. one right behind.. and another one was erm.. a minute or so infront? I should be able to correct of them.. I feel so lathergic.. so retarded.. I can't roll tack my boat properly.. must be cos of the accident..c os I was doing perfect roll tacks 3 weeks back.. I had a grand time sailing downwind.. NOt sure how much surfing I did.. but man.. did I work.. hmm.. just not sure if I was doing it right..c os i certainly din make any gains on the 1st 470.. just maintaining the distance.. but then again..they have the spinnaker.. hmm.. oh well..... it was fun.. but man am I sore or wot.. my thighs hurt like crazy.. cos i havent' been using them.. I couldn't grip my line at the end of the race.. just too tired. oh well..

There are some pay issues that are quite fucked up.. I hope it can be resolved soon.. Else I'll be really pissed and I'll seek legal action if need be.. woaH~! serious leh!! hahaha! They are deducting my pay for the fees that they paid for the visa to get me here! FUCKERS!!
