It's Saturday, and we're all packed and ready to go, the cars are organised so there's no shuffling, the kids are hopefully packed over at their place and after lunch, we'll be gone.
Tenerife! Not been there before, so this is very much a test. We're staying in Kirsty's parents' place, not far form El Medano, and if it works out well, maybe we'd go again. So that's a test.
El Medano... hmm, isn't there reputedly windsurfing there? Well, indeed, and I've signed up at the Official Test Centre (OTC) for a week's kit rental, so that's another test - will Tenerife be a good venue?? It has waves and stuff, as well as lots of flatter water, should be the case.
And finally, the third level of testing is the windsurfing itself - the OTC has a different principle from other centres, in that you don't get a board, you're expected to try lots of different ones as you wish. And that sounds like a great idea!
Of course, it was really windy this week, and the forecast for next is gibberingly RUBBISH!! Like, 5 knots max until next Friday evening... There's lots of other things to do, like sitting in bars, eating, sunning, reading (taking the scarey book that Alan bought me - House of Leaves, very thick), cycling (lots of rentals, a volcano to climb!) and so on. Perhaps some surfing, there are waves and the period looks good, so could be fun.
Right... time to go , let's see how it develops!
