Just a short message to family and friends, we are back in NZ now. Getting back into things here and currently looking for work. I know I have been very, very slack with this website! (Lost interest a bit as I tend to use Facebook.com instead of this site)

Anyway please get in touch as we are now back and would love to hear from people.

Chris and Inma.

And finally some months later I have gotten around to posting some photos from our last trip out of Spain to Prague in the Czech Republic. Very nice place to visit. (Recommend it while your in Europe) The locals were nice, not as nice as Holland and not so many understand english either. At least the hotel staff spoke english. Everywhere Czech is spoken of course and we didn’t understand a word of it. Seems like a difficult language. Great beer, what they say about Czech beer being one of the best is 100% true. Very nice and cheap too.

Anyway here are just some snaps from our visit. I hope everyone is well. We are going fine!

Today I went along for look and took a few snaps and recorded some video so you can see what its all about. To sum it up they run the bulls down the main street here and long into a small area by the port. Where later the locals try to entice the bulls to jump into the sea.

And no I didn’t run in front of the bulls or jump in the ring…I’m not mad!

In Two years they will have another shot at the cup and with this years experience and lessons learnt I’m sure we will be back with a faster boat and more experienced team to challenge Alinghi Again.

Lets hope too the rule will be put in place that a teams crew members must be from that country. Example:

NZ92 New Zealand – Only NZ crew members.
AUS84 – Australia – Only AU crew members

That way we will have much improved odds :) haha

However I doubt that will happen, its all about money now….

Alinghi Successfully Defend the Americas Cup
Boo Hoo – We lost! ;( Next time Alinghi….next Time :D
