NEW FORMAT OF BLOG POSTS - 2015 TARGET MAUI PRO - surfworldtour.blogspot.com
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The competitions in Hawaii - Women's in Maui and Men's in Pipeline start at 7:30 am -HST what means 3:30 pm in Rio de Janeiro (daylight saving). In some states in Brazil, there is not daylight saving.
The Women's competition in Maui was scheduled to start on November 21st, but it had nine days of Lay Day, till Saturday,  November 28th, 2015.

On Sunday morning, I set up my stuff in my room at the hotel, and around 2:00 pm and went out to lunch at McDonald's - headquarters in Oak Brook, Illinois, USA -close to Mauá Square -Praça Mauá, and Rio de Janeiro port , a quite farway from the hotel.

I had a Quarterão, that I like and went to "Lojas Americanas" -founded in 1929 in the city of Niterói, but with headquarters in Rio de Janeiro - to look for some DVDS, because there was the "Black Friday" sale yet.

Exactly when I was inside of Lojas Americanas started a thunderstorm so strong in Rio de Janeiro,
inclusive a strong "lightning" struck down  and did a phase of electrical network fall down  in the central area of the city.

I wait this "thunderstorm" got lower and came to the hotel. But I got rain and the streets were flooded
and fortunately I arrived OK but I felt very cold. I took a hot shower but it was already 5.00 pm.
Exactly, in this stormy Sunday the TARGET MAUI PRO started in Hawaii. I chose started the new FORMAT in Maui -my inspiration -(see the post)to get lucky for my blog and site. But I am Cancer sign -" everything is complicated but in the end it works."

My plan would be to start the new FORMAT of blog posts in Round 1, but unfortunately I could not due to storm...The hotel has a good network signal of Wi-Fi -Wireless Fidelity -so for the first time I could  post almost in real time - some minutes delay -from Honolua Bay, Maui, Hawaii.
At my house I had no wired or Wi-Fi networks, I use 3G network by cellular phone, which is slow, and unstable.

It was a nice experience for me, unfortunately I could not try the new FORMAT - with photos and flags of surfers -yet because I got a late due to the storm, but in the Round 4, I debuted the new FORMAT, which got much better, so the blog readers are able to view better the surfers, the flags of the countries in the heats.

In the second day of competition, December 2nd, I did all posts in this new FORMAT, and I think it has improved very much. I always try to improve some details in my blog not to earn more money just to my own and blog readers satisfaction. I still no use AdSense on my blog, because I think
"work with surf is never a work, it is a pleasure."

The Men's competition will start on Tuesday next week, so I will have lunch around noon, in some place close to the hotel, because the weather is rainy in Rio de Janeiro now, and I wish never face a thunderstorm again...

On my site surfworldtour.com, I just posted the results on the day after, because the competitions in Hawaii finish around 4.00 pm there, what means  midnight in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil...So I have to write the scripts, upload the photos,  send to the server and than go to the Internet network.

Finally, I am so happy at the  end of  this season, because my site is on the Internet, my work is getting better. I have to improve both: the blog and the site, but the technology always is being updated. In my opinion "the happiness does not come from money, position, status but from within us."
