update for val's sake

hello again...
since coming back from singapore in march, nothing much has happened, i reckoned that since i didn't qualify, there was not much point in putting so much time into sailing when i can study, studying did help as a week later i had my exams, did alrite, 75 for english, 88 for extension math, 94 for math, 82 for history, 86 for physics and 93 for chemistry. now its the holidays and my family and i are planning to go to gold coast. sailing wise, i went down to the club during the weekend to watch/coach my brother in his optimist state championships, there were 20 optis, a stark contrast to singapore for sure, the first day was light shifty wind and he got 7-14-6, the following day was about 10-13 knots, and he got 10-10-15, so ya... yesterday, a large storm came through sydney and the rain was really heavy, there was lightning everywhere and just off the club, 2 men got struck by lighting, they survived though quite shaken. later, alex, phil, adam and i went out in search for 2 missing 420s from the club, they were safe but in the search for them we saw a keelboat that was sinking, apparently, the keel fell off in the storm and they were frantically bailing out water. well thats it... i'll try to update again soon
