LOL! I have no idea!! They are just so friendly here, the guy who had my job before wanted a small rib and they bought him one! Fantastic hey!!

Plus... He has free tickets to go on a yacht to watch the Americas Cup! So hopefully i will be going on Friday!

I went last Monday, but they were on a break so only got to see them practising.

Got my Spanish team T.Shirt though!!

LOL!

Yes it's pretty, I am working there now, It's amazing i'm being paid t go sailing, I teach Spanish kids in Optimists at the weekends which is a challenge as there's 10 of them at a time!

My boss bought me a laser as well! An old one that i have now made look pretty!! It's called Estrella (Star in Spanish) and has two little stars on it. I can use it to go to the races here and be sponsored by the company.

I remember some spanish 420 sailors at an international event being told that the correct term for "starboard" in english was:

"get out of my f***ing way"

and hearing it from the other side of the race course!

Thanks, Well it will mainly be Spanish people but some English tourists. Yes, I will have to learn the Spanish sailing terms but I think it will be fun!

Useless Info for you...

When we say that we have 'turned turtle' as in capsize completely, the Spanish say 'keel to the sun'! I thought that was nice!

Sounds good, but will you get to teach in english or have you got to learn all the spanish sailing terms?
