Force 5 Friday Part 2.

What's going on here? That's a Laser! It looks like the Tillerman has hacked this blog.
Have you no shame sir? Will you stop at nothing in your pursuit of world domination? Oh well, it's really a good video. I do like the part when the windsurfer appears. Cheers and have a great weekend!

Video stolen from the Tillerman, it seems that I have no shame.

Force 5 On Friday

Hold the fort Joe. Are you trying to pull a fast one? That's not a Force 5.
I might finally cross the Rubicon and buy a C class/5M sailing canoe. I'm going to take a look at one on Monday.

Does this mean the end of your Force 5? Absolutely not, I need to continue my eternal battle with Nemesis.

Don't Blame Me Señor Tillerman.

Look everyone, there is Tillerman son numero dos reeling in a big one.
I recall someone who equated fishing with watching paint dry. Is it my fault that "Dos" likes to fish? It's possible that he read this blog, saw all the wahines who like to fish and decided that he'd rather hang out with bikini clad lasses than grizzled old Laser sailors. Okay, you can blame me.

Hola Miguel.

¿Es este tu tiburón?
Es posible, I'm only saying.....it looks like concrete evidence for your claim.

I found this video over at SurfThereNow.com, it shows Tyler Bradt kayaking over the 186-foot-high Palouse Falls. He broke the old waterfall world record of 127 feet.

Why Tillerman, Why?

Why do you continue to torture your readers by passing out writing assignments?
I am in absolute agony. What will you do to me if I can't come up with anything? Will you lock me in a room with an endless video of happy Laser sailors sailing accompanied by Michael Jackson songs blaring in the background? I can't take it! I need a drink, goodnight.

I'll Have Mine On The Rocks!

Not quite what I had in mind.
As a daring overtaking manoeuvre in choppy seas, it did not quite go according to plan. Instead of making up vital ground against 19 rival boats during a gruelling race, the Jersey-registered Knight Star found itself perched high and dry - on top of a rock. Read more here.
