Windsurfing is Magic

As many of our readers will know, we do have some water sports expertise within Bears Unlimited, but it doesn't lie with me and Yorkie. It is Eddie who is the chief boating bear, but unfortunately he was too busy running his seal boat to join us on this holiday.

Yorkie and I had to learn to sail and windsurf from scratch. Fortunately this was no problem for the excellent Mark Warner staff, and they had just the right courses to help us to learn enough to get out on the water and have some fun.


In our first week we tackled windsurfing. There were several simulators which allowed us to practise our moves on dry land. This one was a bit big for us, although look closely and you will see us trying to master it. We used this one to practise our gybes and the ones with sails attached we used for other manouevres.

It wasn't long, mere minutes in fact, before we were out on the Red Sea, joing the band of other novice windsurfers.


It might look dead calm but there was more than enough wind to make us feel we were going very fast. We weren't too worried about falling off as the sea was nice and shallow and lovely and warm. Strangely enough, because we weren't bothered about falling off, we actually managed to stay on the board most of the time.

Eddie would have been proud of us.

Lots of Love George & Yorkie xxx
