Today I sailed the pole race from Manly sailing club which is a seven mile race from Beach to Pole and return.
On the first short reach I was worried I had the battens too tight as there wasn't much wind and the top batten didn't pop, but with a bit of breeze the boat very quickly accelerated and with a bit of centreboard up the TIWAL got on the plane. I held onto the Zephyrs for a while, but in the light patches they pulled away from me. Around the first Mark then upwind for 3 1/2 miles sailing in 6-10 knots. I had the small sail on and I had plenty of power. I was using the controls through the puffs; playing with the outhaul, vang and the cunningham. I sailed towards the shore hoping to find some extra breeze there to make up some ground on the Zephyrs but it was a no go. It looked nice there - flat water but not as much wind. It was a warm, humid NWer with rain clouds that didnt produce breeze, only seemed to suck it away. It was one of those few occasions when heading to the shore wasnt the best course. Of course the local Zephyr sailors seemed to know this - should have followed them! Downwind, unfortunately the wind died to 5 knots so the TIWAL wasnt given the chance to show its lightweight speed but it was pleasing that with each small puff there was a pleasant humming noise and slight vibration as the boat got on the plane. Overall, it was good sailing the boat with plenty of power. I put plenty of shape in the battens before I left the shore which was perfect for the conditions. The adjustable battens will provide me with a bit of learning as I have never played with batten shape like this before.

Hi everyone... I’m so addicted to winning the lottery. I’ve just scooped my FOURTH jackpot of $1million – taking my total winnings to $4.6million through the help of one legit spell caster named Doctor Alaska. My first ever win was $100,000. Last year, I won $500,000 from the Pennsylvania state lottery and I also won $3 million in 2021 bringing the grand total of my winnings to $4.6 million. All my winnings have been made possible with the numbers given to me by Doctor Alaska. I've been so blessed, winning big three times in my lifetime. His spell casting is unique and safe unlike some fake spell casters that are just after your money without showing any result. Doctor Alaska is like a God in a human form, he is always there to help and guide me in all my trials in life and with him by my side, I've been living a fulfilled life. Just incase you see my review and needs his help, you call his cell number +233 277 283 626 or reach you out to his email [email protected]

Unknowingly, I was sc**mmed of $734,000 in Bitcoin by a f*ke online forest investment firm, and I had no idea what to do. I was contemplating suicide, but fortunately, a friend of mine connected me to a cybercrime investigator known as Cybertechie a hack Pro who hack and recover stolen digital assets/crypto recovery agency. After a few hours of work with them, I was shocked to learn that they had recovered all of my stolen cryptocurrency in just 72 hours. They were able to recover all of my lost cryptocurrency, and they only collected 20% of the money they found as their service charge. If you have fallen vic*tim to a fraudulent forex/ and online sc**m activities then worry no more you can contact them via their email: Email: cybertechie813 @ gmail. com or WhatsApp +358 44- 9349-429.....

I promised Great Dr. Odunga to post this testimony and I really want to say "Thank You" to everyone who supported me through the years. My name is Manuel Franco, New Berlin, Wisconsin. My story of how I won the Powerball lottery of $768.4M is a bit of a tale. I was feeling very lucky that day because I had contacted Great Odunga to help me with the winning Powerball numbers. I really had that great great feeling that I looked at the camera wanting to wink at it. I only did a tiny part of it when he told me he would give me the numbers and trusted him. He gave me the numbers after I played a couple other tickets along with it for $10. I checked my ticket after the winnings came online and saw the numbers were correct including the Power play. I screamed for about 10 minutes because it felt like a dream coming into reality. I had won $768.4M. Thank you Great Odunga. Well, his email is [email protected] You can also call or Whats-app him at +2348167159012 so you guys can contact him Leave a Reply. |
