For all of you that are wonding what I've been up to I'm still hanging around in the Whitsundays sailing around on the maxi's. I've now done 3 trips out on the Hammer, and 2 on the Condor (the most famous racing yacht ever built). Basically I'm going out every single day that I can to get as much time on the water as possible. By the looks of it I should have a job in the next 1-2 weeks because 1 person finished this week, another is going next week and another 2 weeks after that so they are going to be in need of people at prosail (the company whos boats I have been going out on) so hopefully I will be offically a crew member in a week or so, not that the money will be all that great but it is better than nothing and since I basically have no expences while working for them it will be good, not to mention every trip is basically a big party with a new group of people.
The last trip I was out on kinda sucked though because the boat had tore its main sailing on the last trip and wasn't fixed in time for this trip so we had to motor almost everwhere even though the hammer was still doing 8 knots with just the heady up. The boat is getting a new heady this week which was cut larger than it was supposed to be and will be getting a new main in a couple weeks time so it will be a absolute weapon when that is ready so I can't wait to get back out on the water on it as soon as the new sails are on.
