Well, its that time of the year again! We leave today from Brissy for what i already know is going to be an awesome experience! Our training thus far has taken us all around the Australian East coast and taught us many lessons, as well as making us better sailors and being part of one the most fun journey’s ever, so really going to Amsterdam for the worlds is like the cherry on top of an already elaborate cake! Since last year Kladeos and i have done more sailing than ever before, around 700 hours on the water of quality training time since our last worlds, should hopefully have lifted our potential to a gold medal for Australia!! The goal for worlds? Well, we aren’t going there to get second! But at the same time, self improvement is extremely important! But mainly, we ‘dont want to come back with any potential intact’. I have many people and spoons (personal jokes) to thank but i think i will leave that to the return, cause if i forget anyone in my rushed typing i would be quite annoyed. I also better watch what i write this time as last year my blogs were redirected to LaserWorld magazine and published in their international magazine, quite a surprise as we really only wrote these for friends and family. Hopefully all the flights will run smoothly and we can take the opportunities you have all given us and turn them into gold baby! Oh well, better get going, will blog again when im on the other side of this planet…as they say in dutch hier wij lopen baby!! (here we go baby) ha……………… ryan out!!!!
Sorry Ryan had to get 1 comment in before you flew out of Brisbane, perhaps you should mention on this site the change of mobile nos as I have a feeling I am going to be inandated with your friends texts.
Also, have a wonderful time, stay safe and whatever you achieve in the Netherlands is second to you being my No 1 son.

Good luck & Love You - Mum X
are you gay?
Hey Ryan, just commented on Klade’s blog, he has made 2nd entry still waiting on yours.
Had a huge laugh at the both of you wearing your bathrobes at the Novotel HK, however as you could not retrieve your luggage, did you go out in your well travelled (after 27hrs) clothes, how did it feel having a shower (I hope you did have one!) then putting the same clothes and worse undies also, Yeiks! - (sorry for whoever else read this - but I am his Mum), as I said to Klade I figure the first place Maggy showed you was her shower!!.
Hope you are well and write your next blog soon.
Love you Mum X
