Teared jib
2007-12-21 00:36 by jens in Gear
Today a seam in the jib split. Our first thought was to repair it but after some experimentation we got the boat balanced and self steering using the storm jib instead. We will wait until we reach Port of Spain with repairing the Jib, hopefully there will be a sail maker there.
The wind has calmed down to around 12 knots and today was the first time we sat outside of the cabin without getting sprayed with water.
Only 718 nm left to go!

Hi Dirk!
The swell in Tarifa was pretty massive. Lots of fun! :-) Biarritz was not so great though. According to the locals the wind's usually fairly gusty and it didn't blow at all when we where there.
tjenare grabbar!
fan va kul att ni kitesurfar massor! vore kul att se massa bilder på bloggen eller hemma i sverige.
kör försiktigt nu när ni klarat er hela tillbaka till europa igen.
Hälsningar abbe
Hej Andreas och Jens

Hey boys, what's up?
Did you get the predictet fat swell in Tarifa? What's Biarritz like for kiting? I'm back at university hardcore-studying and sleeping a lot, still weak from the illness. Tomorrow will bring a nice easterly breeze to our lakes here and I might not stand the temptation of trying my new board in our icy flat waters.
Hope you're having a good time!
