yupz... Sailed today. The weather was great, no sun and lots of wind.
Capsized twice (at least I din "boomed"). I learnt that it is not wise to be lazy and clip your mains rope when the wind is strong. My hand got rope burned. My thighs and abs hurt. heeling and hiking. heeling and hiking. heeling and hiking. Now my butt hurts frm abrasion. Wet pants and sand dun go well together. One wierd thing i found out was that my hands felt silky smooth after sailing, guess sea water is good for the skin, yeah, better den lux super rich... haha...
Also collected my dingy proficiency level 1 card!!! And they freaking had to get my name wrong (they mistook my M for a W! Freaking read it upside down!!!), dun know what those SingaporeSailing guys are thinking, anyhow hum tham. Anyway, now that I have proof that I am a proficient sailor, I kinda feel pro. haha. ok... its just level 1 but still its the only one I got... so give some face lah.
I wonder how long it will take to sail from Singapore to London... I wonder...
now that i think about it, i kinda pity sir stamford raffles in the days before BA and SQ.
