Euro FW championship in Sylt Day 1

Hello from freezing Sylt.
Me and Gedas arrived here yesterday. After a one hour of driving back and forth we finally found the event place. We passed the regstration and equipment inspection and started looking around.
The event area is fully packed with tents in which you can find everything: from pizza and "wurstchen" to HD cameras. Outside the tents you can hang your eyes on newest volkswagen cars.
Unfortunately there is no tent for equipment - you have to leave it on sand and rig it on sand as well.
The other problem is that if you live in the car you have to drive 2km to the sleeping point. And in that sleeping place there is no infrastructure: no electricity, no water, no shower.
We slept in our car, cooked on gas heater in our car because it is freezing cold outside ( 8 degrees, pouring rain and 30 knots wind at the moment). Anyway we slept pretty well in the car and after wonderful omlet cooked by Gedas we left to the event place.
Now we are sitting in the competitors club and looking at the wave sailors getting ready. Keep tunned.
