A wet and misty weekend

It was a wet and misty weekend up in the mountains so we went out for a bit of skiing between the clouds and rain. No sun though. So the photos this week are taken inside.
Breakfast in bed.


Playing in the pen.


Both having fun!

Topsy Turvy Climate

Weird that is is warmer skiing at 1800m than windsurfing this week! Windsurfing in <10>15 degrees. Go figure....

More fine tuning for the extra speed.

Carnaval

Jack was dressed as IronMan for the school Carnaval.

Jack was second into the class this morning and first to the door. It was hard to get photos this year as we could not get into the class.

Sarah dressed as Tigger.

Jack, first to the class door! The teacher dressed up as a pirate.


Jack and Sarah fighting over the scooter - Jack won.


Jack as IronMan - bad quality photo due to indoor lighting and mobile phone.

Baptism of Fire

First day windsurfing this year and I chose a good day - lashing rain, 6 degrees (air) and 12 degrees (water), 45 knots with gusts at 55-60 knots, on shore wind with large dumping waves. I was totally overpowered and just happy to gybe.....

On the way home, I was one of the last to drive down the coast road before they closed it due to the waves breaking on the road.





We were not many out, about 10 of us and not many of us getting out the back.
