July 1, 2007: Round Texel

Hi - sorry I have been sort of ignoring the blog lately... I've been pretty busy in the lab and there was also a lot of partying last weekend for the catamaran races. Anyway, here are a few pictures of the boat races. It was pretty cool to watch - I think there was something like 485 boats in the races. I saw one flip over even before the start of the race...

I thought it was great that there was a whole bunch of tractors on the beach...
This old military vehicle was being used as the first aid center. I think the guys driving this thing were really having a lot of fun since they kept racing up and down the beach - not sure why he started to drive it into the water here...

Ok, must run to catch the bus so I'm not stuck here for another hour. I'll attempt to write more soon.
