Looking for easter eggs @ Wijk aan Zee

Couldn't find any eggs. Yup millions of those small black rabbit 'eggs'..

But.. I found some princesses!!

The waves picked up

And the wind too..

So, rigged my gear. The Mons-fish and the 5.5 Firelight.

Had a super nice easy sailing session.

Easter welcome at home ;-)

Enjoying the beach

Although the weather and the conditions aren't nearly as good as last year and the year before (yet, forecasts are looking promising), we are still enjoying to the max!!!

Digging up shellfish...

All the tools you need ;-)

Pebbles...

Tinky Winky knows how to relax ;-))

I guess when you get older you need help to relax ;-))

Happy Stormy easter

Stormtrooper eggs. We got some great windforecasts for tomorrow..

All eggs of today will unleash the winds..

Winter surf in Holland

Hot spicy and sticky spare ribs to heat up..

Lunch 'aux Bretons'

Yesterday, our first day in Bretagne, we had sun and wind, but the ocean was flat as a pancake.... So I sailed two hours and we enjoyed the sun for the rest of the day.

Today it was grey, windless and waves were still practically non-existent in the morning, so time to go to the harbor of Camaret and get ourselves a fresh spider crab for lunch.

Looking and smelling good!!

She's got eggs :-0

Ella likes it too ;-))

Off course we had to go all the way 'Breton' ;-))

Waste....

Offroad

Who need those shiny new 4x4 "boulevard" SUV's/Jeeps ;-)

White and a little bit of purple..

try to find another one like this..

Day of the fishes..

Brest?, Malmo?... nop. Part of the renovated harbour of IJmuiden

Nice winds, so time to go out on the Mons-Fish

Went to IJmuiden/IJmuiderslag. Side/side-off conditions.

Wave's didn't get through that well, but loads of fun. And

That lonely wave that came got eaten by the Mons-fish...

Did I mention that the Hot Firelight is the killer?

An insane light sail, that makes you smile/less tired in marginal

conditions.

I also almost went to the Fishes...

I switched to a new mastfoot... just to be sure....

Well, on my first run out (ice cold sea, icy windchill) that stoopid

thing broke. Far outside ofcourse. Was totally alone, so

had to play on safe. Could bodydrag me some kilometers

downwind. Struggeling to hold the boom> icecold fingers!

Anyway, made it to the beach.. nice warmup walk back to the car,

grabbed my old mastfoot and continued surfing..

After some hours I collected more than enough stoke..

so time to to stop.

I drove to the harbour to collect some nice fresh

fishes for dinner.

I couldn't choose..

I went home with 2 nice Dorades

Getting warm at home. Nothing beats a hot shower

and a fire
