  My favorite's would be either Fiji or Rarotonga or Tonga for a cheap winter get away!
  
  Our winter fits in perfectly with the Humpback whale migration to Tonga for calving. Once you arrive in Tonga its a relatively short hop out to Vavau or Haapi. Both of these islands are magical. A day spent out on the water with Endangered Encounters is fantastic. If the whales are in a receptive mood and the waters are calm the chance to swim with them is offered.
  Fiji, offers warmth and beautiful islands. The mainland is ok with Denerau or Pacific Harbor been some of the favored destination's on the mainland but for me i prefer to head out to the Mamanuca or Yasawa island groups. The snorkeling becomes better as you travel north towards the Yasawa group. If you time it right you can swim with the Mantra Rays in the Yasawa Group. Magical!
  
  Rarotonga, although more expensive than Tonga and Fiji is perfect. Forty minutes to travel around the island on scooter and alright snorkeling straight off the beach from the majority of the resorts!

• Americas Cup - The Sport of Billionaires

  The AcC72 is definitely impressive. I'm a fan of the new catamarans! They are pushing boundaries, developing new technologies and racing on the edge of there performance boundaries. This in turn has captured a new generation of spectators and couch viewers. Development costs are very expensive but as time goes on the cost of production will go down. The monohulls average speed was around 25knots compared to the cat easily reaching speeds of 40+knots. What would you rather watch around a race track Suzuki swifts or v8 supercars?

  I found that Tabata training has been working quite well in my training.Tabata training was discovered by Dr. Izumi Tabata and a team of researchers from the National Institute of Fitness and Sports in Tokyo.He study the subjects increased their anaerobic capacity by over a quarter as well a substantial increase in their aerobic fitness.
  Four minutes of pain!!
  
  Push hard for 20 seconds
  Rest for 10 seconds.
  Repeat this eight times.
  
  It is pretty adaptable, it can be used for sprints but adapts well for any weight work out.. I recently tried using tabata with push ups and for the next few days i was feeling pain in places i never had before! More about Weight Training Tips
