Pollution....

Yesterday there were two incidents threatening our best spots. Things like this happen more often, but two incidents at the same day?

About 40km of the coast of south Holland two cargo ships collided. According to the news hardly any oil has leaked into the water. But three containers are missing. This part of the North Sea is probably the busiest shipping route in the world. I guess we are just lucky it wasn't a big oiltanker this time. We just need to watch out so we don't crash into those containers. And off course hope the shipment for Zuidwest6 wasn't in one of them....


A little bit more to the north, things looked worse. A strange yellow substance washed up on the beach. They have no idea where it's from, what it is and therefore they have no idea if it's harmful or not. They just advised people not to touch it. How would you sail or surf if you can't touch the yellow stuff? I guess in this case we were just lucky that wind and waves weren't worth taking the risk today. They cleaned the beach so hopefully it's save next Thursday, cause the forecast is good....
