I was flying home today the amount of turbulence I had confirmed what I already knew: it was a very windy Friday. Now obviously, Fay and other storms in the South-East part of the United States and the Caribbean can get much stronger, but this storm had gusts reaching 75 knots (which is 135 km/h). When I finally got home (first I had a delay in Copenhagen, then my umbrella was lost and I had to file report for that and last but not least my train was also delayed), I immediately checked out hanglos.nl and found this picture by JePe. I clearly shows there were some guys that had a lot of fun today!
I hope to be going to Horst tomorrow to do a short session. The winds are going to die down a little bit, but it’s still going to around 30 to 35 knots out at sea. Horst is a place at one of the lakes in Holland so the winds will definitely be less there… Disadvantage of a lake is that it’s much colder than the sea, so I don’t think I’ll hold out very long… If it’s too much for me, I’ll also bring the camera; there are for sure going to be some cracks out there tomorrow.
Windy weekend here we come!!!
