A great week of moderate to strong wind training in Palma. Now for a couple of days off before my first world cup of the year kicks off. Getting to know the different riding routes around Palma with the boys too. Looking forward to getting under way.

Today we had a good 15-20 knots with some big swell in Palma for another day of training. My boat speed was good both up and down wind. Was nice to have some fun on the way in by taking advantage of the breaking waves on the beach.

Unpacked the boats yesterday in Palma. It's the first time I have seen my boat since the last day of nationals in January. Looking forward to sailing my own boat in Europe for the next two months

Finished the Mussanah race week today. Didn't finish the way i would have like with a 10 and a 16. Learnt lots about the place and about my skills in the light wind which was the major goal from the start. Looking forward to working on all these areas before the worlds in November. Next stop is Palma Spain for the world cup.

Second day of the Mussanah race week. Finished the day off with a 10, 13, 6. Made a costly mistake at the top mark and lost 15 places in the second race. Still have a lot to learn about Oman before the end of the week.

After the first day of racing at the Mussanah race week I am sitting in 6th after getting a 11, 1, 8, 5. solid day but I have a lot to work on before the worlds at the end of the year.

First day of racing today in Oman. Looks like there is going to be light to moderate wind so some good racing should come from today.

Moved up to 20th in the ISAF world rankings. Six Australians in the top 20 now. Looking good for Aus.

Just finished a week of training with the team in Sydney and no we are just about to board the plane to Oman for some more training to prepare for the worlds in November. should be some good light wind practice before heading to Palma.
