It was an action oriented week. A couple of days we already woke up tired. And without afternoon naps we would look like zombies. Busy 24/7. From a pool party to some windsurf action.
To be completely honest there was not as much windsurf action as we expected. We missed the good winds for 10 days or so. The smallest sail I used was 5.1 and the ones I used most were in range from 5.7 to 6.5! Today when I am writing this blog there is no wind at all. Zero. Nul. Nada. Nič. Niente. The bay looks like full of oil, not water. But as Steven says: This is our sport. There is time to surf and there is time to chill.
All in all I am satisfied. My jibe technique now really is a technique not just luck and with Andraž advices now a planning jibe is not a chance anylonger. Plus the heli tack: attempt, attempt, attempt, … and then with some fine tunning from the best Slovenian windsurf freestyler: one, two, three, four in a row. A couple of times. Ourajt!
The other students of the clinic were also very successful. Beginners can easily turn tacks, can sail in the harness lines and cruise the bay. The Green group improved the most: smooth tacks, planning, waterstart in low wind! Congratulations to them all.
Sigri Bay did not give us everything has to offer. The breaking waves and fullpower wind through all the bay area remain to be discovered. And together with Sigri Surfcenter in its early development (they officially run 1 year only!) they will have to be visited again. Soon. I have this feeling when I get back home I will be invited to a vegan dinner and I will be thoroughly cross examined for which windsurf destination in Greece should one opt next year. I saw some top windsurf spots this year: Vassiliki (Lefkada), Prasonissi (Rhodes), Karpathos and Sigri (Lesvos). Plus I will get top information for Naxos, as my brother Ivan was there for a fortnight. It won't be an easy decision. But I will not be surprised if after they will fed me well and press me for an answer, Sigri will be the word they will hear.
For an easier planning of your next year vacation:
So this is it. Our last day. Tomorrow morning we leave Lesvos. No more blog entries about www.andrazzan.com camps from my side until next year :)
There is one more thing I have to say though. On Wednesday, our first day on Lesvos, we went for a dinner in a restaurant in the harbor. The owner/waiter there is quite a model. Different, looks grungy, but as the majority of locals we actually had the chance to met, he is nice. I ordered lettuce and rocket salad with sun dried tomatoes, pine nuts and figs. Yep, figs. Which in a fractal of a second reminded me when I bought a whole crate, one of those typical wooden boxes for fruits, of black figs a couple of weeks ago. They already looked perfect. Once you put them in the mouth you knew how food for gods taste like. She likes figs a lot and this crate was a present. Those were paradise days. We ate figs in the morning, then I took my Mojca for a ride and we ate figs in the afternoon and... Well, a gentleman does not speak about that.
I miss those days. I think about them constantly. I miss you...
