- [Easter special](https://www.sailorgirlhq.com/1453/) - Happy Easter everybody! I had some amazing adventures, as I do every year, at the NSW Tasar State Championships but also catching up with so many who had stories of their own adventures on my radio show! I managed to get Darren “Twirler” Jones on the phone during the show, just before he heads off
- [First show done and dusted](https://www.sailorgirlhq.com/first-show-done-and-dusted/) - A massive thanks to all the adventurers who joined me as guests or listeners for my first Adventures of a Sailor Girl show on Sunset Radio! Over 115 people were listening in at one stage; fantastic for the first show, and super motivating for the team especially after months of the planning and waiting! I
- [Midnight swims](https://www.sailorgirlhq.com/midnight-swims/) - On the night or early morning of 21 January, some fellow adventurers (from the UK) and myself thought it might be a good idea to "explore" Rose Bay... Seemed like a great idea at the time... it was also cold... and raining (they felt quite at home!)! I was quite happy being clothed in an offshore jacket
- [Bridging perspectives](https://www.sailorgirlhq.com/bridging-perspectives/) - On 16 January 2014, I happened to be walking over the Harbour Bridge after work... definitely the best way to take in the view... and we all know I do like a little bit of an adventure! It was one of those right place right time moments. And, I had my camera on me of
- [Tour de Harbour](https://www.sailorgirlhq.com/tour-de-harbour/) - Perhaps because I am crazy, or maybe I really am keen, I felt the need in December when I purchased my Spiral to sail from Woollahra, to Concord to race and back again. I left at 12.15pm, and arrived at 2pm for a 2.20pm race. I left concord shortly after 4pm and arrived back at
- [FD and B14 Nationals](https://www.sailorgirlhq.com/fd-and-b14-nationals/) - The Flying Dutchman and B14 Nationals were on Sydney Harbour from Woollahra Sailing Club in the first week of 2014. I was lucky enough to be out on the water helping out on the practice race day, and also a few other afternoons from my Spiral. View the few album on Facebook below. Post by
- [Darwin here we come!](https://www.sailorgirlhq.com/darwin-here-we-come/) - A lot can change in a week! I ended up having microsurgery on my hand last Sunday to repair two cut digital nerves and a cut flexor tendon in my left hand. Not bad for a mornings work... So far, so good with the recovery. Thanks to all who crossed their fingers for me! Stitches
- [The "apprentice"](https://www.sailorgirlhq.com/the-apprentice/) - The NSW Tasar State Championships finished up on Easter Sunday at the Illawarra Yacht Club. Dad and I managed to finish in fifth after a not so brilliant first day, a blinder of a second day, and then some rough luck on the last day. The most important thing was that Team Chukkel only improved
- [Concertina](https://www.sailorgirlhq.com/concertina/) - Yesterday was my first day of working in Sydney since the move was finalised two weeks ago. I am still working in the Australian Public Service, but now with the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner. Wow... I have had two great days! It feels a lot more natural than I thought it would to
- [Everything in between](https://www.sailorgirlhq.com/everything-in-between/) - The past few weeks I have been wrapping everything up here in Canberra, for at least the next year. Definitely sad, especially because the lake has been closed and I haven't been able to get time on the water like I had hoped. I never thought I would leave Sydney and my Harbour, but now most will know I
- [Mini me](https://www.sailorgirlhq.com/mini-me/) - Not much to report from this week. Packing and planning for the move North has been all consuming. I have not been on the water for a week – for the first time in a very long time. Looking forward to hitting the training hard after my forced mini break! This weekend I will be
- [Skating to 27](https://www.sailorgirlhq.com/skating-to-27/) - A quiet week for me on the sailing front following the challenging NSW Laser State Champs last weekend and the start of many loads up to the new place in Sydney. The Laser States can only be described as challenging for all that were involved! Highlight of the weekend was definitely the reach in on
- [Ambassador and heading North](https://www.sailorgirlhq.com/ambassador-and-heading-north/) - My biggest news for this week is that I have jumped on-board with DeckHardware as an Ambassador. I am really looking forward to having access to a great selection of brands including Allen and Liros, and most of all sharing the products with my sailing friends (I should now have a mean kit of spares). I am so
- [Capital Champ](https://www.sailorgirlhq.com/capital-champ/) - Chris Eddes of the capital is now a national champion! [singlepic id=89 w=320 h=240 float=right] The Spiral Nationals wrapped up yesterday on Lake Macquarie, with just the one race in a strong but exceptionally shifty N-ENE breeze. My start was brilliant, about ten boats up from the pin. I could see the boat and the pin
- [Smashing starts](https://www.sailorgirlhq.com/smashing-starts/) - Today is the last day of the Spiral Nationals, and the weather looks to be just as tricky as the last three days! Yesterday we managed to sail two races, race six in the morning in a very light easterly, and then in the afternoon, race seven in about 12 to 17 knots of E-NE
- [Tennis and sailing](https://www.sailorgirlhq.com/tennis-and-sailing/) - Day two at the Spiral Nationals was definitely tough as predicted following day one. The breeze was up compared to the first day, but had larger shifts from the E-NE direction due to more cloud activity. It was definitely a sail to the pressure kind of day, which at times felt a bit like the
- [Upward Spiral](https://www.sailorgirlhq.com/360/) - Happy Australia Day everyone! Hope you had a great day with your family and friends and to all who are racing, hope it is going well! The Spiral Nationals commenced yesterday for me from Teralba at the North-western end of Lake Macquarie in a very shifty and variable E-NE breeze, with cloud interference at times.
- [Addicted to training](https://www.sailorgirlhq.com/addicted-to-training/) - Ten days to go until the Spiral Nationals. Chris and I have been training every couple of days, doing boat work on the off days to make sure we don't burn out. We did the sprints last Sunday, where I came 3rd out of the Spirals and 9th in the division, then 1st in the
- [Speed gains and losses](https://www.sailorgirlhq.com/speed-gains-and-losses/) - The NS14 Nationals are done and dusted finishing up on Tuesday 3 January. What an awesome week it was! Well done to Cronulla Sailing Club and the NSW NS14 committee for putting together a fantastic event and of course Zhik for their sponsorship of the event! Finally in race 7 and 8 we felt like
- [New Year and Nor'Easters](https://www.sailorgirlhq.com/new-year-and-noreasters/) - Happy New Years everyone! Hope you welcomed 2012 with your friends, family or both and I wish you happiness and success for this year! Gorgeous day in Sydney today and finally a Nor'Easter to break the southerly onslaught; a great way to kick of the new year! Today was also the lay day for the
- [Riding the wave](https://www.sailorgirlhq.com/riding-the-wave/) - The NS14 Nationals kicked off today. We got some awesome breeze in the sailing area, out in Bate Bay from Cronulla Sailing Club. Hugh Tait, Peter V and Bryce are currently in 1, 2, and 3 after day one, sailing exceptionally fast and consistently in the shifty but strong conditions. Waves were a big winner
- [Holiday spirit](https://www.sailorgirlhq.com/holiday-spirit/) - Christmas is almost here and I hope everyone is enjoying their time with family and friends! With holidays and Christmas here, the focus for the NS14 Nationals which start on Tuesday, is to just get out there and have a bit of fun; enjoy the California Times. We have done a lot of work, travelling
- [Perseverance and possibilities](https://www.sailorgirlhq.com/perseverance-makes-it-possible/) - This week was a week of perseverance. Perseverance is not a long race; it is many short races one after another. With challenging weather, boat handling break throughs, speed struggles, and a bit of a rollercoaster with my fatigue, it was important to focus on what was possible, rather than the impossible. After a big
- [Train in the rain](https://www.sailorgirlhq.com/train-in-the-rain/) - They say you should train in the rain, because no one else will be. This may not be the case this summer; everyone may have to have a go given the long-range forecast! Nevertheless, I have been out there whenever there has been wind, which meant for some great rides this week even with the
- [California Times](https://www.sailorgirlhq.com/california-times/) - After a cracker fortnight prior to my last post - last week I struggled to get on the water due to a series of rainy days killing the breeze. I don't mind sailing in rain, but floating in rain is a completely different story! The lack of wind was probably a blessing in disguise. The
- [No consequences](https://www.sailorgirlhq.com/no-consequences/) - The quote of the week this week was an old favourite - racing is training without consequences. I have started getting my groove back in the past two weeks, spending most days on the water. Tuesday and Wednesday I trained on the Spiral; crews were sparse this week due to the exam period in Canberra. Tuesday's session
- [Getting visual](https://www.sailorgirlhq.com/getting-visual/) - My third post, and my third week. Today was also the third training session that I have filmed on my new camera which is adding a completely new dimension to my training. Highlights of the week on the water were some brilliant breezy sails on the Spiral; on Thursday and also today, continuing the work on my
