Medemblik greeted me with an apparently standard Dutch greeting: a rainy, windy, cold slap in the face. The reality of why I have not been to Holland in five years since my first Olympic-circuit Laser regatta hit me as I pulled into the boatpark and the rain started coming down and the temp struggled into the upper fifties. And yet, here I am, ready for action. The sailors are the same and the boatpark is different. The dependability of having good sailing when you show up in Europe is so rare and, in reality the reason that we keep coming back. The regatta here starts tomorrow. Updates will show up here at CampbellSailing.com.
