ABOUT ME... AND UPDATE






Hi,

its been quite a while since my last post, but to be honest, there is not much excitment in my life at the moment. Unless you like to hear everyday about my crazy adventures going up and down stairs... oooohhhh...soooo scary!!
Well, I actually have some new. Aparently, my bone hasnt healed at all during this 3 weeks, so i have to go to surgery with it. when they told me, I cryed like a baby. but hey, at least now I will be sure it is going to stick together.
it is a bit weird. luckily there is no wind here in GC, so I can keep my self sort of calm.
The bad thing is that John is leaving tomorrow monday to go to the CapeVerdi event, so lets see how I del with it on my own.

here you have some pictures from last Nov in Maui, at least, you get some action!

all the best wishes to all!

Copy of Jimmy Diaz letter to Committee on Water & Land
COMMITTEE ON WATER AND LAND
DATE: Friday, February 15, 2008
TIME: 2:45 p.m.

To Whom it may concern,

On behalf of the Professional Windsurfers Association, I would like to say
we oppose the passage of this bill.

This bill would greatly affect in a negative way a very active windsurfing
industry that has a significant economic impact on the state of Hawaii.
This impact is not only in the form of tourism, but also in the form of
businesses that have established Hawaii as a focal point of research and
development, training, retail, rental, and image capturing for the sport of
windsurfing. All of these businesses help perpetuate Hawaii as a tourist
destination to millions worldwide.

On behalf of the members of the Professional Windsurfers Association, I ask
you to vote against this bill.

Sincerely,

Jimmy Diaz
President - Professional Windsurfers Association

MY COOL NEW BOOT!!!




Check it out!
it is so cool... this way they say I dont need a plaster, and i can take it off to give the foot a break or have a shower, and it looks cool! it is so weird not to be able to go out and just to be sitting on the beach. I am dealing quite well with it, I thiknk because i have no choice. To be honest, if i look back, I think that since I started sailing, I have never been for so long without sailing, I mean, I am going to be for 6 weeks at least I think. I thought I was going to be able to do a lot of things on my computer and stuff, but as i am "video girl" at the moment, I am as much out of home as always, but only not sailing. Well... i will see life from the other side.
Best wishes to all!!!
