Actually I wanted to participate in the 7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge - Tuesday of Antarctica and World´s Oceans hosted by @czechglobalhosts with this photo I took the other day.
But yesterday before I went to bed terrible news has reached me. Five surfers died while they were out for surfing in the North Sea at Scheveningen near Den Haag. In total 10 surfers went in together but only 5 made it out alive.
Until now nobody knows what happened, but the weather and the conditions must have been very rough at this time with white water as powerful as a avalanche and lots of foam. Two of them were found on the same day while the other 3 of them were seen but could not been recovered until the next day. All 10 people were experienced surfers and 2 of them were even lifeguards.
This is sad news and shows how powerful and unpredictable the ocean can be. I´m pretty sure they´ve done everything to help each other but unfortunately it wasn´t enough for 5 of them.
Condolences to all relatives, friends and those involved
R.I.P
