In the space of only 3 weeks, I have been invited to take part in 3 sailing regattas, all of them taking place in the first two weeks of June. The first one is in Poland, on the Baltic sea. I am very excited about this as I have never been to Poland before. At all costs I must avoid Polish vodka, my last two drinking disasters have been due to vodka (the last one only just over a year ago...) and sailing on small boats on a choppy Baltic sea does not mix with vodka.
The second regatta is in Lorient in Brittany. This is on a real boat, big enough to sleep on and apparently the races are very competitive. I am part of an all female crew.
The third one is in Portsmouth in the UK, also on big real boats, and I haven't decided whether to go yet, as it follows on immediately from the one in France. It will be the fourth time I have taken part in this regatta, so I'm a bit of an old hand now.
The best thing is, all three regattas are organised through work - and I don't even work for a sailing company. What are the chances of getting work to organise and pay for 3 regattas in 3 different countries and that I get invited to take part in all of them??? That is seriously cool.
