So, ticket in hand I make my way to the departure gait for the long haul to Miami. I spy my plane waiting for me on the tarmac, but hang on something isn’t right, now I am no plane expert but even I can tell that that is no Airbus. Not to worry, once I settle in with the touch screen movie selection the journey will just fly by. Stepping on board I am transported back to the glory days of aviation, when business class meant brown leatherette and TVs had 2 inches of glass for screens, now where did I put my flying goggles? So, no movies, what did we do for entertainment in the days before television? Looks like I will just have to rely on the old fashioned art of conversation, that and my e-reader and my iPad. Fortunately for me the chap next to me was quite chatty, 7hours of me talking, I wonder where today featured in the top 10 of his best days ever? I know what you are wondering, 7hrs on a plane with a stranger with nothing else to while away the time, some would say it was inevitable but did I or didn’t I? Fear not fair listener... of course I showed him a picture of Carbon Footprint.

Miami Baby
After spending November attending to the physiotherapy needs of the Swedish Sailing Team at the ISAF Worlds in Perth I decided it was time to give Carbon Footprint some attention. There was just one problem, after the glorious sun kissed beaches of Freemantle, mid-winter Weymouth was not looking quite as enticing. As I sat in my sitting room with the wind hurling the freezing rain at the window there was nothing to do but surf the web and dream of sunshine. Then I saw it, the US Moth fleet Miami Layline winter series... Carbon Footprint get yourself into that RS:X bag and try to look like a windsurfer; we’re going to Miami baby!!!
