Moving on is the current paradigm but it´s a little weak in my books. To me life´s a puzzle - you don´t want to bin any of the pieces. Now is the time to take inventory of what I was dealt last year and to see where it fits in the big picture.
2008 was a season of remarkable achievements that didn´t come together to deliver many results. Notable exception: second place in the Open Belgian Snipe Championship with Floris.
What about all the rest: an amazing performance in the North Sea Race where the class divisions robbed us of a crushing victory over our on the water rivals; learning to sail and tune a Moth in virtual isolation; sailing an interesting season in the Snipe having swapped roles with Floris; doing tactics for a great crew on a Swan 70 in Sardinia; surviving the Moth Worlds. The one thing I´m proudest of is keeping us off the sand banks in front of Harwich in low visibility when the GPS failed. It was a short bright moment of getting it all together when it really mattered.
