Well we made it through our first day relatively unscathed. Medemblik turned on some nasty weather with 12 degree air temp and plenty of wind 20-25kn gusting a little more later in the day.
We were in good shape in the first race, but I managed to capsize us in the first gybe.... then worked our way around the minefield to finish 23rd.
Second race saw an increase in the breeze and even more carnage, plenty of boats upside down, enjoying the balmy ijseelmeer....
Anyway we managed an 8th after only one small capsize, definitely got ourselves into some interesting positions with that much breeze around and boats crashing everywhere. sometimes you had to have one eye for the show going on around! ( thats us in the background above, sail number 1051)
So all in all not a bad day, a little disappointing to swim a few times , but we had little damage, and are ready to go for today...
