Out sailing on the Forgensee today with
mum and dad. Wanted to go sailing again before the lake runs dry for
the winter. Unfortunately Daniel and Rhiannon couldn't join this
time, so we will have to take Rhiannon out some time soon, as she is
the only one that hasn't been yet.
Got their in the afternoon, as that is
the best time to sail around here. The afternoon mountains suck the
air towards them, giving us some strong wind. Sailing out of port we
once again had near to no wind, but it picked up after a while and we
where soon zipping across the lake at top speed some where near to 8
km/h. We tried (and managed most of) some manoeuvres to keep our
knowledge fresh and fit. Apparently the worst time to forget sailing
things is the winter after you learnt sailing, as you do near to
nothing for those months.
After having a few hours of sailing we
proceeded back to the harbour and rowed to land. On the way back
home, mum bought some tickets for her and me for the EOFT (European
Outdoor Film Tour), a series of small film in a theatre all centred
around amazing things people have done. Dad couldn't join as he had
spinning for that night. One of the guys in the film that climbs up
cranes, buildings, etc. without harness was actually there and said
hello to everyone. Late night back (after a park place chaos) and to
bed for work the next day.
Dads blog here, where you will also
find a GPS track of the weird way we sailed.
