Long Time no talk!!

Hey, I know its been a while since i have been on here but things have been busy tho not in the world of sailing for me. Looks like i may not be doing burton week, national 12 nationals, BUT i will be doing the SB3 nationals and worlds!!! So the long process of getting myself into shape for the events has begun. I am now in the gym 3-5 times a week! oh and guess what my diet has changed too!! Sadly i still havent sailed for 4 months and with the wind on the sound i am too unfit to sail the laser safely, but on the bright side i am working more in website desgin and development( my NITLC course) and doing some freelance work on the side, along with working behind the bar at the theatre royal plymouth (wooo get me!!). So my cash flow has increased which is allways good, but my car, pingu, has started playing up so money i save gets spent just as fast. All that said i am happy in life now and should be back on the water in march, i am also looking at crewing in a merlin. This should hopefully make me a better sailor.
I have recently been looking at Ally martin's sailing and she is doing very well!! And i look at what she is doing and think i could be doing that, so this is my aim this year to get my self into the life style i want, which is to be able to sail like semi pro level and do website design. If i can achieve even half of what Ally has done i will be happy. I believe i have grown up a lot since my days crewing in the 12 with my dad, and its funny that people still live on those days and say that in certin winds we were the very best around! which is i think is a big compliment!!

Oh and there maybe a jimmy whitehead on tour section on utube!!

Some of my thoughts for now, stay tuned and keep sailing!!
