Summit fever... the final push...
Wed, 28 Oct 09 11:39
We're off. The teams fired up and the wind is building.
The guys at OPTRON GEOMATICS have manged to salvage yesterdays data... but we have the TRIMBLES padded up like newborns to make their ride down the course as soft as possible.
The only thing I am nervous about today is that the wind will not build enough to let us shine.
We ahve been struggling with the live feed over the past few days so might have to communicate through these blogs.
If the wind comes I reckon we will have a good shot at this title. Thanks to The boys from Hydroptere for giving us some TRIMBLE tips... good sports those guys. Hopefully we will soon see you guys up on the roof of the speed sailing world.
Cheers, Paul.

Alcohol Treatment Center
Submitted by cliffsidemalibu on Sun, 11/08/2009 - 10:43.Alcohol treatment cannot be equal to drug treatment. Moreover many “exclusive” treatment services in Los Angeles make the mistake of treating alcoholics and drug addicts the same method, while if the challenge faced by one group were similar to those faced by the other. But this cleanly isn’t the case. The fact is that alcohol addiction presents it’s wounded with a unique set of challenges on the road to recovery. An exclusive Alcohol Treatment Center center that fails to recognize that much, can’t ever possibly expect to help its clients get where they need to go.
The Cliffside Malibu understands the nuances of alcohol rehabilitation. Cliffside’s alcohol treatment experts are important numbers in the field, and take a fantastic wealth of knowledge to their work. Of all the fashionable alcohol rehabs existing, this is why Cliffside is the special alcohol treatment purpose for expensive clients from as far away as Thailand and the Philippines. It’s also why there should be no doubt as to where your interests will be best served.
Alcohol recovery is an extraordinarily easily broken process. To complete it successfully, you’re going to need exactly the right kind of care from exactly the right kind of caregivers. Cliffside Malibu can give it to you with their private alcohol rehab programs. All that remains, now, is for you to make the right choice. The day you arrive at Cliffside’s secluded private estate will be the day you start remembering why you ever believed tomorrow to be a thing worth looking forward to. For the sake of the people who care about you, here’s hoping you can muster the courage to do what you must.
