phew

on sunday i had a close encounter with the davy jones locker kind.

i was about a kilometre out to sea on my kiteboard, which come to think about it was rather silly in the first place, when i managed to snap one on my lines. don't ask me how, they are rated to 135kg each. anyway, there i was floundering in the swell, my kite a sodden mess and lines tangled round me. eventually a deep sea fishing boat happened past and hauled me sopping onto the deck. being dropped off back at the beach again was the most embarrassing part though!
