(machine translated in 2023) Disappointing day at Ouddorp harbour. Wind was N/NE 25 kts predicted, at home and on the way the wind was quiet, only the last 15 km there was wind, bad omen. Once I arrived I saw Martin van Meurs' Volvo, okay, good sign. Martin had rigged a 6.3 and just wanted to get out on the water. I watched for a moment as Martin walked towards the dam and only after a while bobbing and later in Plane. Yes, with difficulty a rake along the dam. Afterwards Martin said that he just reached 70 km/h, he was only just in Plane. I rigged Sputnik, Hurricane SRA 30 and Daytona 6.6. The water went well, width and volume of the Sputnik quickly brought me into plane. A number of raks along the dam and crosses to walk altitude again, wind occasionally dropped out, max 50 km / h. Not really fat. Finally a good flag as I sail past the dam, I don't pay attention and I go over the mussel bench halfway through the dam, I hear a tap and no more pressure on my fin. All the fin gone! After some searching, quickly found again: bus broken out, fin itself not damaged. Probably hit sand. Walked back to the shore, chatted for a while and went back on the water with the next flurry, but this time with the Deboichet 30. But the wind was just nothing today. Unfortunately!

  (machine translated in 2023) Little wind, had to make a real effort to be able to walk height. There was no speed. Max 50 km/h. Let me walk my Hurricane SRA 30cm on the mussel bench, base broken, fin itself barely broken.
