Barny's World Dash

Yesturday and I think probably today have not gone according to plan... having gone on the bus tours to may stuning parts of the island and watching the awesome wind, saying to myself its always windy here, I can go windsurfing next week... I have now hired the kit, and the wind has gone... not very funny however fortunatly it is not as bad as it seemed because part of the deal with kit hire is that if there isnt any wind you can swap your windsurf for a normal surf board so yesturday I had my first go a proper surfing (well longboarding), I managed to stand up and remain standing up while I went forward quite a long way on one occasion, however it is quite exciting because there are loads of people surfing and some of them are quite good and they suddenly appeaer above you moving towards you very fast if you are not careful.

Surfing used to be done by the kings of Hawaii (pronounced Hav-a-ee) a hundred years ago or so and so a supposed to the royal yacht clubs you get in the UK here we have :

This is the sunset from Lahaina looking towards Molokai

and this is Kathy (Luxumborg) and Anita(Holland) who were also on the trip.

So there we go. Hopefully the wind will be back before I leave...
