Trouble in paradise

Loads of sun here and with the thermal effect joining the poniente in the afternoon there's just enough wind for my 6.7 m².
This is my fifth day on the spot and third on the water:
today I wrecked mast and sail in some light shore break like a blind beginner.
Licking my wounds and charging the batteries on the camping site tonight.
After a week of free camping, the site feels like a nursery home, but the view on Africa makes up for that.

Getting along very well with the French surfers down at the beach.
And since this is August, the beaches are loaded with Spanish creatures of remarkable physical beauty and with eyes that knock you out in a split second.
This should be enought to forget all the trouble in paradise: unexpectedly expensive internet, unreachable FTP-server, Spanish administration, unnervingly slow mail delivery, VISA card, unwanted house music till 9 a.m. etc.

22h sail cleaned up for repair, washes hanging out
still got some heavy Flash to tame.
Party my ass.
