My dry spell ends


So while I surfed the 8th, and windsurfed January 9th. And had a decent, but cold sail on Segue on the 15th. after that… I was landlocked. It was too cold to sail or surf, and the entrance to the creek where I keep Segue is frozen shut. To make maters worse It has been snowing so much, I can’t even ice sail. And lastly my body had been messing with me.

But things are looking up! I finally sent of my photos of my Ezzys that I am having problems with. It is very uncharacteristic of his sail to tear the way these two 09 Wave Panthers have.  I have been using his sails for over 20 years, and they have always proven to be bulletproof. I have to think this is an isolated incident. In fact I have so much faith I his creations, that I just bought two more Ezzy waves on closeout with Isthmus.

Mustang and I had a nice surf Saturday February  5th. And Saturday night McPhilly, Pre-Marital Chuck and I went out to see Dommer's Band Play. They where really good.

 I also just learned that I am going to be part of the Windsurf Magazine 2011 Board tests in March. How cool is that?
[more to come on that subject, for sure]

But the great thing is I’m back in the water. The new drugs seem to be working. God it feels great to not be in pain!

I plan on embarassing you in the Spring.

Now beat in mind that I am part Breton, and my Breton mother just sent me a new:

so you can tell your boating pals, well he's actually a Breton and can speak a few words of the language, and has even sailed a small boat out of Le Conquet!

I mean "bear" in mind ...

But I did find the diss amusing, but I will not be daunted.

"Captain JP has a yachting cap dilemma. It is a knotty problem, the hat thing. Many sailors of enormous experience and seniority regard the Breton cap as a symbol of authority. But many younger, ruder sailors say wearing a Breton cap is a sure sign of moral turpitude and mental collapse. And fashion brain-death.
What is clear is that the cap, a practical and stylish tile especially for those of us who might be follically challenged, is now under attack. I blame the rise of the moronic baseball cap."

I don't think you can embarrass me my friend: have you seen my sun hat?
