We managed to get a surf session in later in the day which was great. Svetlana came with us for her first tries and had a baptism of fire as Ninja, Baba, Alexis, Sandro and myself went to Plat en Rouge (not ideal for beginners). Anyway Svetlana caught her first wave there and managed to stand up maximum respect. The place we went to is a reef break, very shallow and the wave becomes very steep very quickly so to be taken there for your first time is pretty hard core.</p></p> <p>The boat engineers came yesturday and put back the engines that they took up to the workshop for a big service which is great.</p> <p>The weather also changed yesturday it went from being very humid to cloudy with rain showers and on inspection we discovered that there are a couple of cyclones near to us. So for now we wait to see what is going to happen and how close they will actually get.</p> <p>Thats it for now, today is my free day along with Alexis and Johnny so we will see what the weather brings us. Right now a strong N wind is blowing so i think we will be able to get out on the water today somewhere.</p> <p>Wherever you are and whatever you are doing best wishes and enjoy the day.</p> <p><br style="clear:both;" /></p> Wed, 30 Jan 2008 05:24:00 +0000 urn:uuid:9c29921d-f0b6-45ce-adfc-7e5929483093 Buzz http://www.windhut.com/articles/2008/01/30/quick-update-from-mauritius-30_01_08 Club Mistral Mauritius Windsurfing Mauritius
