Sorry to go off message but as an engineer/ scientist all my working life I much prefer to deal with facts even if they are a little stretched under heavy lubrication
![]() I will have a look at August diary, happy memories of a Prince of Wales Week at Falmouth and some good food at Mark's Seafood Bar.

Going back to NLP, being pushed for use in business for motivation and personal effectiveness. Is said to work for some but like above comment, need to believe in it for it to work. My boss recommended it, got some coaching, struggled with it and did some research. Talked about it with friends both of whom are academics and clinical psychologists. Quote: The worst kind of snake oil pseudo science. So that's me off finding something else to gee me up to better and greater things.

It's a difficult on the best yachtsman's ale... I'm afraid Adnams gets it, purely for longest standing loyalty - best drunk at The Butt & Oyster in Pinmill; however I'd be lying if the Doom Bar hasn't become a bit of post windsurfing favourite when out in the back country.

Thunder Road
I get the idea ... sort of like the longer you stand at the bar the better your sailing was earlier that afternoon... or last week ... or last year ... and especially 'when you were a lot younger' ![]() On a different subject but not a thousand miles away from 'Doom Bar' country there looks to be a likely 'gathering' of Icons at Falmouth Week in August on an informal basis ... Can you make it and cope with the 'Southern Tropics' in August ? Mike L. |

I find after several Brandy and Babychams I sail far better than I normally sail, sadly I am still in the bar at the time, a fact well demonstrated on the Saturday evening at the Forumites event and no doubt every club in the land.

NLP and CBT are more reliable than hypnotism...sadly they require lots of hard work.
Give me a quick fix any time!

Hypnotism doens't work on people that are sceptical about it... it is entirely about suggestion, guilibility and people "playing along".

I've covered some visualisation techniques in talks and my book and believe they are really useful. And the principles behind The Inner Game of Tennis are extremely enlightening.
But it seems to me the hiking all day angle needs something a bit stronger. There is nothing on that link of pondmonkey's about improving endurance/discomfort-tolerance, which is interesting in it's omission. McKenna made Maureen talk about her dog winning Cruft's as if it really happened and she was absolutely comfortable with the fabrication. It made me wonder if we are only scratching the surface. |

Not sure about hypnosis
![]() Visualisations work for me though....I discovered the technique years ago when I was a half way reasonable squash player. I would first watch Jahangir Khan playing the perfect backhand volley cross court drop and then imagine myself doing it.....It worked, well at least it improved that particular shot for me.....I do the same with sailing.... .....I can now sail like Jahangir Khan, crap

Sports psychologists use hypnotherapy as part of their toolkit...
