what a way to leave the US of A!

spent my last weekend in the U S of A, slumming it in new york in with an old pel carl, was picked up from jfk in style in the beemer and headed back up into westchester - 30 mins north of manhattan, went out for supper at friends of carl's and got cooked up storm including "shrimp on the barbie", i have only ever said that, and never actually had it!

hit the sack early as i had been up from 4am and we were planning a epic day on a river 2 hours north of new york in connecticut...we set out early and were on the river by 11am, launched the speedboat and dropped the rest of the crew on the yatch while we set out to check the conditions...

midday the conditions proved challenging and tricks were few and far between...chilled some more on the yatch taking in a couple of 'silver bullets' and waiting for the sun to come out and for the wind to drop...

and that it did, the rest of the crew - all 7 of them - headed back down to the city after lunch, while the priviledged 3 basked in the perfect conditions and rode like there was no tomorrow, pulling off some tricks that kept all of those on passing boats bewildered!

all and all had a awesome day, including wakeboarding, slalom skiing, boogie boarding, chilling on the yatch - thea lee, driving speedboats, eating, drinking and some general tom-foolery!

headed back home after dropping the boat at a fellow south african, stopped at mcdonalds for some nourishment, and collapsed into bed 2 hours later, after having the perfect end to my US trip!
