Back from Monsoon Madness to Bangkok
It is office time right now. After having the race in Malaysia, I got seventh in the end after four counted races and Jesper Orth, one of my best friends on tour, could win, I headed back to Bangkok and later on to Pattaya.

Malaysias east coast has a lot of warm air
Arrived in the Duta Village Beach Resort. Got my own little Beachhouse for the next days of staying. Includes nice breakfast and a nice overall setup, like Karaoke Bar and pool.

This report was written by a person who really sailed sometimes in their life, she told me on the phone. So she knows a bit about the sport and likes my attitude toward it. I like the report and this →
Things are coming together
Happy new year to all of you. 2007 sounds great. Like the number 7, perhaps not for sailsize, but 4.7 is ok. Listened a bit to the music of Shania Twain while the night, one of the famous musicians staying in the lengendary Hotel California in Todos Santos. The Eagles were never there. Just rumours. But sometimes it´s great to →
