WHAT ARE YOU DOING TODAY (PICS)

[Giles]

The next generation of open 60's (the round the world single handers that Alex Thompson sails) will have lifting keels.  They will not actually come out of the water like the Americas Cup AC45's, but they will de-weight the boat and reduce the wetted area.  Expect some incredible stuff in the next Vende.

In any other news Mercedes Benz Racing now title co-sponsor Alex - amazing…....

Kaiserschmarrn! (Love that, but I can't do the flannel in July thing.) Great pics.
@Max:

@Finkster We're in Garmisch and are using the canyons as base for our hikes - it's super hot here. Yesterday was the Leutaschklamm, today the Höllentalklamm.

Last update for a while. We're in italy now but have to leave early as I broke my elbow and destroyed my tendons on one foot after which I fainted for a few seconds. This happened on a sidewalk near the hotel btw. We're leaving now to find out wether I need surgery. Ways to end a beautful hike. Much love to my girlfriend who did a great job. See you in a few days.

[Dion]

Astonishing pics, thanks for sharing :)!

[Seul]

So you go climb a shit ton of mountains, and follow pathways fit for a mountain goat, and you break your elbow on a sidewalk near your hotel?.. That's not the Max Power way man… 

Anyway: hope you had a blast (before the SideWalk Incident)...

Yesterday 16 miles on the AT one of the most difficult hikes I have done. 10 miles up to ridge. Then 4 miles on a sunny ridge, ran into a bear, then 2 miles down.

[twin]

@Max Power  take care of your self. Girlfriend will be there for you. Just give her one BIG hug.

Great hike @derivative666

[steelworker]

Best wishes for a fast recovery @Max Power hope you're hiking soon.

[Graeme]

Sorry to hear about the accident, and get well soon @Max Power.

@derivative666 did you or the bear come off worst out of that encounter?

(Why do I have visions of a fresh bearskin rug in your house?)

[derivative666]

Bear situation was uneventful. Looked at us took a step forward. Banged my trekking poles together a few times and he fled down the backside of the mountain.

[Graeme]

Uneventful is probably a good thing when bears are involved.

[Max Power]

Thanks for the good wishes! Hugs have been given and I'll be on my way home today. See you soon.

@seul Yeah I know, it's not the kind of story you're proud of 

[Finkster]

Thanks, for all the fantastic pics and get well soon!  @Max Power
