Ok it’s coming to the end of the pre-season prep with the first real race of the season underway this weekend. With that in mind, (and the fact that the moth blogging has all but dried up lately) I thought that I should check in on how I am progressing against my to do list.
- Getting my ass out of the workshop and onto the water. – Despite my best efforts I have had four short sails, and all of then have ended early, 4 breakages to fix this week – FAIL
- Getting fit and loosing 10 kilos. – Weight loss is progressing, I am now consistently sub 90.5 KG and have gone sub 90 KG. Fitness needs work – IN PROGRESS
- Grow some cahones in 15 knots plus – Progressing. The real test would have been downwind last week but the boat broke – IN PROGRESS
- Learning how foil gybe and nail it every time – FAIL
- Turning my OK tacks in to consistently good tacks – FAIL
- Build some new spreaders with the correct geometry – DONE, total cost $7.50
- Get my foil’s “finished” – DONE
- Find another 10 knots of boat speed. – IN PROGRESS

Hop on the bike Bruce,
Works the legs, abs, lower back and hip flexers. All the things you need for hiking hard and great for weight loss.
20kg’s gone on big Grunta
The extra 10 knots will come with the “cohones” solution
