I'd expect Wouter to get lots of sailing in this summer!


AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - July 2006 is on track to be the hottest month in the Netherlands since temperatures were first measured in 1706, the Dutch meteorological institute KNMI said on Tuesday.

Average daily temperatures in the first 24 days of July were a record of 22.3 degrees Celsius (72.14F) compared with the previous record of 21.4 degrees in July 1994 and normal average temperatures of 17.4, the KNMI said.

"July 2006 is the hottest month ever," it said in a statement.

Dutch temperature records, launched in the beginning of the 18th century, are among the oldest in the world. Methodical thermometer-based records began on a more global basis around 1850.

Hot temperatures on the Dutch coast are almost always accompagnied with moderate eastern winds (Bft 1 or 2). So this is not our favourite sailing weather !
Today another day of 32 + degrees C <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

I get a decent amount of sailing in.

Currently 3 F16's in my club races and that is very nice. 1 Taipan and 2 blades. More are expected.

Were they being sailed by Kate Bosworth and Jen Lopez?

For the topless girls are normal, so I learned to concentrate of wind again. I guess I just don't know any more how lucky I am ?
