No news is bad news....always the way of it in...erm anything!

This has hit the fan with me this week- and my own fault really for not making some courtesay calls..I presumed I would just keep a place on a hot boat after I showed up on another at a tune up I was specifically asked to go to. The othersiwe nice bloke went all terse on mebut hey it's his loss and they ain't offshore boats anyway

But the cloud has a bigger silver lining as all this BS in cruiser-racers had made me decide to go race OOD dinghies at the helm and actually develop my own skills, judgement and most of all confidence.


I really need to confront the 'easy route of least resistance' which is getting a place on a cruiser racer under development and then of course falling out with the owner....it's a confidence thing in myself as much as any frustration I feel at the owners ineptitude and bad judgemetn. I try I really do try to take their money and own learnign curve lust into account but....

I don't inspire confidence in people...it's a mixtyure of nervous nature / moods, bad body language and poor comms coupled to a slight lack of confidence ... i just need to tune my relaxed, self confidence and actually be a little arrogant ...

I'm too quick to call self confidence 'arrogance' ...it's a fine line but guys who are generally nice but just refuse to take your view or listne to you can do it in a non aggressive way buit are actuallly arrogant phkcers.

Norwegians are arrogant many of them. Oslo is rife with phuik heids.
