Oh that triggers another memory: on a family holiday in the South of France lac Biscarosse+, I finally managed to get the hang of a borrowed wind surfing board and promptly sailed across the lake because I was too afraid to let go. Totally cramped and had to walk back dragging the board because I didn't understand how to tack yet. That was a very long day with lots of people worried because I could barely swim (pretty rare for a Dutch kid to be a bad swimmer).

All is well that ends well...

+highly recommended, beautiful area and very nice campings.
