Today I have a day off from work. Yes, I'm back at Hanseatische Yachtschule again. Almost 6 weeks passed since I arrived here, one of teaching kids on optimist dinghies, one basic course on Folkboats and a course called Ladies Sailing Week. I've been called to the principal's office one morning during that course because some of those ladies thought I wasn't patient enough.... housewifes... on board they started a discussion about why I won't teach them the safety maneuvre instead of courses (regarding to wind direction) and tacking and jibing. How come women don't understand why they have to go step by step learning the basics first before trying new things? Anyway I got the day off and went to the beach of a nature reserve near Holnis, stared at all the yachts sailing in and out of the inner fjord. On the other side of the fjord one can see the coast of Denmark. It was sunny and warm and the place somehow reminded me of my time in Croatia. I wish I could sail out of the fjord into the Baltic, round Denmark, through the north sea down Biscay over Gibraltar back into the Mediterranean.
Season is almost over and I need to find a job for the winter, which is pretty difficult these days considering that I have no permanent internet connection here and time goes by too fast. My roommate Dorothée left last weekend and I miss her totally. We used to talk about everything! Especially the honeypot thing ;) (honeypot -> a man)
It's really not that easy with those honeypots. Once you find one you always think about him, wondering why he never calls, writes or thinks of you. But sailing helps a lot to distract me from thoughts like that.
This week we had strong winds from SE and I had a day off (again :) ) because going out sailing with our 13 years course participants was too dangerous. I went to Holnis again instead but stayed in my car on the backseat with my guitar. The gusts of wind shook my car while I was playing some Taylor Swift songs and thinking of another honeypot.
Having a crush on someone is a crazy thing! One wants to know what the other one is thinking about oneself, is totally insecure about if he likes one or not and then suddenly there is a second one and one has the same thoughts and insecurities about him also. What's all the love and relationship stuff worth? You end up alone anyway...
We (some of my colleagues and me) participated in a sailing regatta this weekend and now I'm pretty tired! It was my first regatta ever and I found out I still have a lot to learn. I hope I can participate in events like this more often.
