We packed up our gear today because in less than a week, we’re heading to Perth for the next phase of our training leading up to the Asian Games. Today concludes the third week of intensive training in Singapore. We’ve been really lucky to have the opportunity to work with Mark Plummer this past month; he is an excellent coach! Thanks, Mark!
And have I mentioned yet that Mark is probably one of the funniest guys I’ve ever met. My favourite comment from him has to be when he suggested that humans should lay eggs.
‘I mean, it’s okay for me, but for the girls, having to carry the baby around for nine months? Wouldn’t it be so much easier if you could just pop out an egg and put it in the oven, and there’s the baby!’
I’m going to miss that, hee hee.
Plus, he takes videos. And so for the first time, we can actually show you guys what we really do out there. For those of you who haven’t actually seen sailing in action … enjoy! (This is about as good as it gets in Singapore.)
Hey Dawn & Siobhan
Nice video.
Yeah, totally agree that Plummer is an excellent coach.
Michiko and the YOG squad benefited so much from his coaching…he taught them so much life-skills too:)
His sense of humour is cool too.
Well….ASIAN Games is drawing near.
Take care & all the best. Hoping that the waves don’t get too CRAZY and praying that the wind is more friendly to our SIN sailors.
cheers

Thanks Aunty Sharifah! We’re looking forward to Perth and the Games!
