Dahab for 2011

During the month of January when I was in Brazil, I was informed by Neilson that I will be doing another season with them in Egypt Dahab, from the 3rd April 2011 to the 15th November 2011.

Just about 8 months in the sun isn't bad for some of us.


I am looking forward to getting out there for another year, as there are a lot of the same team that we had last summer, with James Hoare, Andy Jeffcoat and all the Egyptian lads.
I hope that with the 8 months I am there for my own ability will improve.



I hope to see some of you out there or on the water during my time there, you might even be lucky/unlucky enough to be taught by me.

Jericoacoara

From 11th November 2010 to the 31st January 2011, I decided to head to Jeri for the winter months with the warmer waters rather than spending them here in the UK.
Something which I am now thankful for as it appeared to have been one of the coldest Christmas's that the UK has seen for some years.


I had an amazing 3 months out there with Jamie Drummond, Marco Wedele, James and Will Hoare, and many other UK guys that came out to visit or where there already when we arrived.
I ended up staying there in a house for the 3 months rather than in a Pousada which is something well worth doing if you are going for the same amount of time.


During the months of November and December we had some amazing winds which blew well over a force 4 90% of the time, but during January the wind wasn't as reliable and there was a lot more rain coming through than what we had seen over the months of November and December.

Here are some photos that i managed to get whilst i was out there for the duration of the 3 months, unfortunately i didn't manage to get that many as none of us that went out had a decent camera with us



I hope there are going to be more trips like it in the near future.
