June 2nd and 3rd brought blue skies, sunshine, fair temperatures and a very steady breeze. The forecasts were in the 10 knots range, but quite often at Paal 9 Texel when the sun heats up the inland large dunes and sandplates, a local venturi effect occurs between the warm land and still cold seawater, especially with north / northeastern winds. So we had steady winds in the 15 - 18 knots range, no waves, but still great fun on slalom gear. The pics are taken by Caren standing on the wave-breaker at Paal 9, which a low tide falls dry, so you can walk into the sea, like this:
Standing on the pier facing land (now they're all green and alive, in winter it's bare rocks and asphalt):
And now facing towards the sea: inviting!
Some sailing was done too: windsurfer, sailboat and kiter all in one frame (you have to click on the photo to get a good look):
