Model Boats

Have you seen the model boats along the front in Arrecife? You can normally find a selection of them racing around the water on a Saturday morning, these photos were taken at Charco San Ginés but the other spot is by the bar on the corner where Club Náutico is situated.
If you look closely you can also see the mandatory cans of cerveza required to rehydrate whilst participating in this sport!

January Weather, Lanzarote

We started and ended the month of January on Alerta Amarilla (yellow alert) but actually had an incredible month of warmth and sunshine for what is normally one of the coolest months of the year.
The first warning on the 3rd of January was for strong gusts of wind, in the first week we experienced winds up to 23 knots but warm temperatures at 24 degrees. The arrival of a calima in the middle of the month increased the daytime temperatures to 29.5 degrees one afternoon! The weather was cooler in the last week of the January with the temperature dropping to as low at 12 over night but up to 22 in the day.
The yellow alert issued at the end of the month was for strong winds and heavy rain, the clouds started gathering in the afternoon of the 31st and the evening brought thunder, lightening and heavy downpours.
There are lots of athletes in winter training here at the moment, there are cyclists all over the island and almost everyday hang gliders can be seen enjoying the views.

Casting at Club La Santa

A brand new way of using a fishing rod

The word cast – to throw - describes this, to many people an unknown sport, that probably will be an Olympic discipline shortly. Precision and mental strength are decisive factors for success in this interesting sport.

An old yet unknown tradition. Casting is to many people an unknown sport, despite the fact, that it is over a 100 years old. The word cast – to throw - describes this competition, where you compete in 9 different categories in either distance or accuracy.

The development of the sport

Even though the goal is not to catch anything in this sport, all the categories have their origin in fishing. Up until the 1970’s it was performed in water, but then the sport was moved to dry land. At the moment they are trying to make casting a discipline at the Olympic Games. The sport is recognized by the Olympic committee, but for the sport to be in the Olympic Games the number of disciplines has to be reduced and the casting sport must be united in a World Federation. Since 1957 a World Championship in casting has been celebrated every second year, and in 1981 it became part of the International World Games programme, which equal to the Olympic Games is held every four years.
The world record holder in the discipline fly distance, Jan Luxa from the Czech Republic, managed in 2001 to throw this lightweight animal over 70 meters with one hand!

The equipment for casting consists of a rod; in most cases a fishing rod, and either flies, spinners or multipliers. Casting enthusiasts are starting to use specially designed rods, which are stronger than regular fishing rods, but to learn the techniques in the precision part of this sport, regular fishing equipment is the ideal to use. But it is not just fishing enthusiasts who perform this sport. It requires mental strength and many training hours if you want to succeed and become good at this technical demanding sport.
