Hey
How are you?
Another week gone! It’s been quite a full on one. The first guests arrived at the hotel, and Hannah was here for most of the week visiting. Sunday evening at the mo and I’m completely exhausted. Haven’t had as much time to write this as usual so will keep it brief.
Last week we had our first guests in the resort. Done two rides a day 6 days week so pretty knackered, but its been really fun. This resort is small – 60-70 guests at full capacity – so my rides have only had 1-6 people on them, which suits me nicely. Most of the guests are 50-odd high up corporate types who’ve been doing their sport for decades. Lots of them are very good windsurfers. Thought I’d find them insufferable but you know what they’re alright. Few weirdos naturally but most are . Has been a week of good chat and good cycling.
I’ve found a restaurant in town that gives me two courses with wine for a fiver. Even gave us the whole lot on the house last night. I just make sure I recommend his place on rides. The greasy wheels of capitalism continue to silently turn… Also, amusingly, they’ve used the club penguin logo as their own.
This has worked out well because Hannah and I have been eating out a lot this week. Definitely has felt like a big old holiday – windsurfing, nice food, beach trips, speedboats. Great week.
Pretty chuffed to say that I’ve learnt to wing foil, although I still crash very regularly. By some miracle, I managed to get the hang of it after only a few hours of learning. Once you’re on the foil it’s quite similar to skateboarding and managing the pitch is a bit like wheelying a bike so thinking those skills have helped. I’m now fully hooked and desperate to get better. I try to get out on lunch breaks and after work, so lots of time on the water available.
Thats about it! So tired. Next week’s email will be more imaginative. Easy dinner and early night for yours truly. Keen to hear whats going on in your life as ever.
James
