Winter is finally over!!!!!!!!!

Just a little impression of today: 40 knots cross-onshore.

It's good to be back, sailing with 20 kts speed between high waves. I love the northsea...........

Jeez. I'm looking forward to 6-8 knots wind speed and warm, flat water.

Another 3-4 inches of snow tonight.....

You might live in the wrong part of the world when ....

+1. it's forecast sunny and 88 F today. But spring will be here soon...

Another five to eight inches of snow in the forecast for tonight..... crazy

Spring have arrived in Norway. +10degC and we sailed yesterday in great winds!

According to scientists, global warming is the culprit behind the late spring. A giant high pressure system is blocking the usual weather patterns in the higher latitudes pushing air from the pole southwards.

Perhaps this is another year with no summer, like last year.

We had our first F18 Class Event last weekend, on the first day it was very windy (25kts+), chilly (8c) but very sunny as well.
Unfortunately we had to stop after the 1st race because of a broker crossbar
Second day very little wind (5-10kts) but still doable.

Cool spinpole video from one of the crews, maybe we need helmets too?

Weather looks brilliant!

Whats up with the water? It should be blue I suppose the name of the place, Muiderzand, gives the answer..

Poor guys in NED488. Proper dive and Peter Pan move

Got a foot of wet sloppy snow last night. Go F yourselves with your complaints about winter.

Yep the weather becomes much better lately.... (almost warm)
yesyerday evening suddenly a pleasent surprise.. Somebody opened a window I think and suddenly it went from 8-10 knots to 15 - 20 knots

Last night - snow again.. It did not stay luckily as driving on snow with summer tires is bad karma.

The road cleaning teams go off-duty 1st of May so winter is officially over. I salute and welcome the season of green winter
