Just read sherman's blog(which reminded me of how emo guys can get these days.. HEH. gf!!) to get some photos and realised that it's been a while since i've had like.. REAL FUN!!! sailing for relaxation. It's not that I don't have fun during training or what, because I usually always do. (Unless Riliang makes us go figure of eight round 2 marks for an hour in 3 knots of shifty wind. GOD.) But anyway, yesterday was fun.
It's been ages since I sailed a 420. Maybe once with Joel when Jovina first started 420, and once with Pris after training and I broke her rudder pin. But that's also quite some time ago. Wanted to race 420 in Pesta Sukan but no boat no partner, plus it's a ranking regatta so I had to sail Laser. Miss the speed, the space and the spin!! Love reaching in it.
This few days have really got me thinking. About me going back to double handed. But there are some things i can't help. I AM stuck at 165.
Ha, I went out with Paul, his cousin and angie-the-choice on a 420(HAPPY TOES! the one I used at sea games!) and had a great time. Later I sailed with Toh and her dad cos the wind was so strong they needed some heavy weight in the 470 (*ahem*..me). After that I went on Junhao's Laser with Mummy Shirley and we've decided we're going into Yngling together. YOU WATCH OUT!! Haha.. And in the end sailed with "lovely" "little" Bryan and Paul in 420 again.
Yesterday during the bbq, I called Paul a few times. He didn't reply. "Paul... eh Paul..... Paul!.." Mmm, then I began to wonder.. "Is that even Paul? Why isn't he responding.." Seriously, that's the thing about twins.. When you call one of them and they don't reply, you'll wonder if you're calling the right twin. Well, It was Paul. Tim wasn't even there yesterday.
Hey! That's me in my gumbie outfit and that's the first photo of me helming in a 420. That's Paul on the other side.Yes, THAT twin. Bottom right is Sherman Cheng's knee.. He took this photo from the trapeze. Lovely day out at sea, until the wind died.
Yeah, it was great fun..
