The StarHub 33rd Singapore Laser Open is drawing nearer. It’ll be my very first sailing competition at a national level. I’m hyped up!
Today’s sailing was fun.. well atleast towards the second half when the wind picked up. God I love hiking out. Well anyway, just thought I’ll share with you guys the description for one of my Facebook group.. just for laughs and giggles.
“This group is for all those sailors that love to sail lasers, used to love sailing lasers, hate sailing lasers, complain about sailing lasers, and every feeling in between.
Between those days that theres no wind and those other days where you feel that your quads are just going to burst from all the pain, laser sailing is just what you do.
Its kinda a pain being in a small freaking box and trying to tack under that stupid boom when the vang is cranked on and then your leg gets tired from kicking out the water because whoever designed the laser thought it would be wicked cool to make it impossible to bail the thing.
And unless you like sailing alone, sailing this boat makes you long for someone to talk to but you cant so you end up talking and/or singing to yourself for entertainment.
But in the end whether you’re sailing a laser or not, you’re just happy to be on the water.”
