Was in a bit of a rush when posting so didn't write the whole story.

We where going to do an annual long-distance race about 30nm long last Saturday from Medemblik (not Catpoint).
Then early in the morning I get a call that it has been canceled.

The night before, the race organizers where setting up the event's tent (one of those army tents)
and the race-officer get very badly injured. From what I heard a tent pole hit his eye and there
might be a possibility of losing it, very sad story.
After the accident they decided to cancel the event, which was very understandable.

Now there was also the small issue of 25kt winds gusting to 30, a few F18s decided to rig up and sail but chickened out eventually.
The only ones still wanting to sail where the Tornado team (I would too if it took 2 hours to put the damn thing together!).
So they walked to the back of the little lagoon, hopped on , just when a huge gust hits them (you can see it in the pic), it drives the bows under and their spinpole hits the sandy bottom really hard (its only waist deep).
Luckily I was standing on the breakwater armed with my phone to take a nice pic of them sailing out when it happened.
Spent the rest of the day kitesurfing, so all was not wasted.
