Hi Stringy,
No, I just run out of money around this time of year and have to scurry back home and do something!!!... all this mucking about on the sea comes at a price and my time is definitely up:wink: This place is full of superannuated old farts who havent really grown up they are all out bodysurfing, sailing...God you would think we would get old with a bit more grace and demeanour...its disgusting
, noones got enough money so there's a mass pre-monsoon evacuation. We all come back in October (suitably chastised by our shocking brush with reality) struggle back onto our rowbikes, AI's, boards..or whatever instrument of torture. There's a fair bit of 'Oh, I'm not even sure I can do this anymore' or 'jeez everyone looks YOUNG' but within a couple of weeks we are flipping over, wiping out, falling off our bikes and generally making fools of ourselves with reckless abandon.
Your wise to use a leash, I still dread to think about the wrist or ankle pain threshold if 30 odd kilos of plastic gets surfed down a swell with you in tow, but having been perilously close to the alternative I will most certainly take a leash on board next time i go out!
