Seriously though, that was one of the worst years ever and that picture does NOT reflect the average Texel surf.
In '05 Mitch and Herbie went through on the worst possible place (wind and waves straight onshore).
I was skippering an FX-One (2-up) that same day and got through with no problems whatsoever 200m south of their position.
In '04, '06 and '07 there was hardly any surf.
Picture from '07, see any surf?:

Seriously, I have never done Texel, but I really want to! I think it is something all catsailors should do at least once.
Racing at Texel in the first year with regattas will be a step too far, there has to be room for some progression with the regattas. What shall I do next year when I take the biggest race for the beginning? I'll first start locally and am curious how my ranking then is. More decided later.
