Tania is growing up…

Friday, November 23rd, 2007

Just a bit of family trivia!

Tania is nearly two, and coming out of nappies. We only started last weekend, and she’s doing great!

We were obviously a little pensive, over what can be a tricky phase, but so far, so good!

The last couple of days at nursery she’s managed to stay dry, and this morning she woke up dry for the second time! Thats two nights in a row :-D
This has me very feeling very proud of her!

Another Victory!

Friday, October 26th, 2007

Late in posting this, but we had another regatta weekend last Saturday and Sunday where we came out on top! This one was the “III Trofeo de la Hispanidad” organised by the “Real Club Astur de Regartas“.

We enjoyed two days of windy racing, 15-20 knots and waves, serious surfing with the kite downwind! The beats were a bit of a slog, and we were all hurting afterwards! But it was great!

The final blast home on Sunday was unforgettable, the fastest we’ve been in one of these. So fast we were dead downwind and still couldn’t keep the kite full all the time, the apparent wind went so far forward so quickly as we accelerated! Awesome!

So, we managed to get results of 2, 2, 1, 2 to clean up with 5 points after a discard.

I will try and find some photos, as there were a couple of people out spectating with cameras.

Just a grumble as my wisdom teeth are giving me a bit of hassle at the moment :-(

Hope it’ll pass soon.

Windy

Yet another storm, today we have had 120+ km/h winds. The sea was quite a sight this morning. Hope it’ll calm down overnight though, as its not particularly pleasant going outside!

Gordon

Thursday, September 21st, 2006

The hurricane formerly known as Gordon got quite a bit of news over here during the last few days, and we actually saw some of it this morning for about half an hour as the wind picked up to quite a force. Galicia took the brunt as the storm headed north towards Ireland, with winds recorded upt to 180 kmh. As far as I know, no-one was badly hurt, though some buildings were badly damaged.
