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! ------------- Sailor Girl, Queen Of The Forum! |

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!  ------------- Life's a reach, then you gybe |

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. If anyone's interested here's the link www.lasantipodas.com ------------- Sailor Girl, Queen Of The Forum! |
