Hay no bragging about the good sailing when I get back.

It was brilliant yesterday - NE steady 20 knots flat as a tack and great sunny weather. Kidding but at least we got a sail and I tried out the new fin - not really the best conditions for it but it felt good.

Hi all im alive and well, everything is clicking in place and I love it here. I have setup so much work I might have to get more gear sent over. Its not as hot as I thought most day its about the same a back there, but when it rains the heavens truly open and the lightning is amassing. We had 40knt here yesterday and there is a big dam just up the road supper flat water, if I had just had some gear here. I guess the water wouldn't be good for me but hay just don't fall in.
I hope your getting plenty of sailing in

Not bad today Jason but a bit blustery and the wind kept swinging. Still everyone got a few planing runs so none of us are complaining. When are you due back?

At this stage I do not know, there is a lot more work here than we first anticipated and I have meetings with more companies today. Im in no rush as long as I can keep the work coming in its money in my pocket and the boss happy.

Where were you?? Looks fun! Southen edge of Sahara? The town looks like a Mauritanian town... Mali? Niger? Sudan? perhaps...

Oh, hang on, there's a clue in the first photo. "pella" and "onk"

Oh, and, despite the guy's shirt, I don't think it is Ivory Coast!

Well, thats a good question. I was ment to be back at the end of the month but, after chasing up New clients I might have to fly to South Africa, so your guess is as good as mine.
Dave how is the fin going, you must be flying now.
