| hell yeah.. .we picked up practising on the backloop again. already works pretty good. its a bit hard to get the hight though... |
sorry for lagging with posts recently... after coming home from whistler, i only had a few days at home, before i packed my bags again for karpathos. vacation finally! as we have all of our gear in greece anyway, it was an easy task this time. another reason for my absence from the computer was the incredible good wind conditions in the past 2 weeks with an average of 30 knots and peaks of over 40 knots. we didn't have a single day with sail sizes bigger than 4.7... :D

| my favourite angle for the gopro this season... i wish, the quality would be better for stills though... |

| flying high over andy.. bit my ass, when i saw that frame and realized, that the background was all blurry... i'd love to have this one with 20mpx... |

| duckjibe in the shallow waters in front of the mainstation... with the mast mount, you can finally see all the colours... |
 |
| airjibe at 40 knots... feels ALOT different, almost as if you had no sail at all... until the next gust hits! |
best day for sure was last friday, when we were able to sail the smallest sails (3.5). meltemi was hauling ass, still not as gusty as usual, so we could practise a bit on the backloop.
 |
| nerd of the day I was (you could not possibly think that i was wearing this cap on purpose...). the sunbed setup was good for like 10 minutes... |
meanwhile (and thanks to the bad weather back home in middle europe), mr. meltemi stopped its work and is taking a break for 2 or 3 days... though we were more than satisfied the last 10 days, we were bored after the first couple of hours without wind. to avoid a good, solid buzz already in the morning hours, we had to get creative and took a sunbed, mounted a mastfoot on it and put some airbeds below. worked better, than expected, yet needs some modifications. with 2 more low wind days ahead of us, i'm pretty sure, we'll get some good ideas for that :)

| to be honest, in this pictures, the airbeds below are already missing... wanted to have that 'naked' shot though as it looks way more spectacular this way :D |
