Catamaran @ south perth

Went catamarans @ south perth, first time experience. Nice, sunny, windy weather. Perfect day for catamarans. Basically, what you gt to do is: 

1) Apply lots of sun block - high UV in OZ.

2) Clothes - light clothing

3) So long you are physically fit - able to handle the tacking and gybing, how to trim the sails and take the helm you will be able to set sails..

Initially, was alittle confuse about how to take the helm and manoveurs around, braking, shifting from left to right, getting the right direction, and to trim the sail - beware and becareful of your head, as when the sails is shifted from L to R or likewise, rmb to duck your head under if not you gonna get a bruise or knock on your head.. 

Had a couple of perfect turn, halfway through, nearly got toppled over as we were going to fast and forgotten about balancing and controlling the sail and helm. Luckily, we quickly shifted ourself back onto the right track. Got a shock of our life, but it was pretty fun and exciting..haa.. couldnt imagine how we can turn the boat back if we really got toppled over.. phew.. 

When heading back to foreshore, as we are not skilful.. haa.. couldnt gt our catamaran back onto the right track to sail back to shore.. ended up.. the guy from shop gt to sail out on his motor boat to direct us.. haa.. he nearly screamed his head off trying to direct us back.. tink he should just relax.. but.. glad for his direction and guidance on the right place to position our catamaran.. n using the helm.. finally after nearly 30mins of being trapped in water.. we manage to sail safely back to shore.. took us 2 hours instead of 1hr.. din even know that if you move the helm all the way to the end = brake.. haa.. all the time i'm actually braking i/o of sailing.. that's funny.. Important : Understand the wind direction and strength.  

 

Thenafter, washed up and headed for coffee.. Gt a apple crumble and mud cake + Long black & Chai Latte.. Had a fun & tiring day.. 

Got a new recipe for preparing cabonara sauce - less fattening and healthier choice. I/o using carbonara sauce, use lite thickened cream + egg.. Warm up the thickened cream, when cooled to room temperature, add in beaten egg.. stirred over low heat till well mixed.. but..rmb not to overcook.. if not the sauce will be too eggy and clumpy..

Tasted good.. not to creamy..
