The forecast was wind and rain again, in the morning the rain didn't seem to fall in Zeeland. Wind direction W to WNW, so perfect for the Grevelingendam.
Started with the Banzai 5.3 on the One 95. Later took the Banzai 4.7 on the Grip 93.
It was cold, really cold. In the beginning even with mittens on cold fingers. The wind was a lot better than yesterday and it was a lot busier on the water. [Read...]

Good wind has been predicted for the weekend for days. Wind forecast remained, but the temperature was a lot lower.
Used a lot of equipment: Banzai 6.0, 5.3 and 4.7.
In the beginning very gusty, then 1.5 an hour of good sailing. Menno and Jurjen have also done a lot of re-rigging.
It wasn't very cold, we sailed almost all the time without mittens. After stopping, the hail came and the temperature dropped quickly. Even with the neoprene jacket on, I had cold hands: brr. [Read...]

Very good wind forecast and also warm for the time of year.
Sailed with the Banzai 4.7. First on the Wave Slate, later the Goya One and ended on the Wave Slate again.
Another 4 seals were released, went to have a look.
Not very cold, no cap or gloves needed. Lots of sun. Especially at the end there are also nice waves. [Read...]
