The past Year!
Well it’s been a very long time since my last post, I thought I’d write a little update of what been happening with me since my last post.
As always I’ve been keeping up with the holidays, we went to Vail, Colorado skiing at New Year, which was awesome. Then in January we headed to Austria skiing for the weekend with friends. This was an insight into skiing in Europe again. We stayed in lovely little place Lech
In March we headed over to St Lucia for a family 60th birthday. What a nice place and if you love bananas you’ll fit well in… they even make ketchup out of it, which as bad as it sounds taster really nice.
But then in April the weather changed and it was just warm enough for me to sail in the UK again. I started teaching Start Yachting, Comp Crew and Day Skipper I had weeks and weekend booked through April, May and June. I have to say I love it, you meet some great people and come across some great situations. On one course I managed to start the course with an engine fire and end the weekend by letting one of the students run aground. So a fun packed few days. Last month I taught my first Ladies only week, which I thought was a great success. I also taught my first own boat tuition which again I really enjoyed and would like to do more of.
However the sailing industry seems to be very last minute and I decided I needed a little stability for a few months. So after all this time I’m back in the world of I.T. it’s strange but for now I’m enjoying it. I’m still teaching at the weekends which could be part of why I’m enjoying it, another reason could be that I’m now working for my own company Techsail Ltd.. However like I said sailing is very last minute so just as I get my first longer term contact in I.T. the Sailing work starts to roll in...
