yes we went out at 11, to the north of the tent, we got out fine (just one hit or so), but then had no wind whatsoever on the water and were almost pushed back inshore... we had plenty of wind later that day though, and rain, lightning and torn sails, 90km south of texel. quite a weekend!

and, in a reply to the first poster, and to end the discussion on wave height etc. there will be a dvd released from this year's round texel that anyone can buy, and it should surely include the carnage in the surf.
