Yacht Racing

Hi Guys! We haven't been writing much in this blog this winter - mainly because we have had such a bad time with the wind. Basically not much or gale force! But I, John, have been down a couple of times in the past week. The last time was in Ghallis which was really great. Massive swell (for Malta anyway, but it was BIG) and I got some really good high jumps on the point. I used my Fanatic wave board and my favourite sail which is the Tushingham Rock 4.2m. I just LOVE that sail. Had some good wave rides too. If only we could get more of those conditions - I just love it in the waves.

I have been doing some yacht racing too and I am hoping that I will become a full member of the team on the J109 'Artie' belonging to Lee Satariano. I did one race on it a couple of weeks ago and we won and this last weekend we had a weekend of racing in Gozo. On Saturday we raced from the harbour to Gozo, on Sunday we raced round Comino and yesterday we raced back down to the harbour in Malta. It was great fun and the wind was pretty good too. You can see me in the shot above - I am at the front leaning out of the boat.

That's all for now. Hopefully we will have some more stuff soon to show you on the blog.

JOHN
