The author of the piece actually makes a point to note a minor geographical correction here, mentioning that in an earlier update, the company had cited the testing location as Friesland, but later clarified it was indeed the Mars Deep near Texel.
Brendan TraxlerHOST

Interesting.
Brendan TraxlerHOST
31:52
It's a small detail, but it highlights how closely the industry tracks where these prototypes are actually getting wet because of the specific salinity, chop and tidal behavior of the testing ground validate the data.

paul jones was very daring but his judgment and knowledge were so perfect that in the twenty-three great battles which he fought upon the seas though many times wounded he was never defeated He made the American flag, which he was the first to raise, honored, and he kept it flying in the Texel with a dozen double-decked Dutch frigates threatening him in the harbor, while another dozen English ships were waiting just beyond to capture him.

The wind was already rattling the frame.

[rain falling] The rain was back this morning, and it came with a kind of determined patience, the kind that soaks through a waterproof jacket in forty minutes no matter what you do.
speaker_0UNKNOWN

Day nine of eleven on Texel, and the sky was the color of a worn-out mop.
speaker_0UNKNOWN
0:15
I stood at the window of my guesthouse near De Koog, watching a lone cyclist pedal past with a bright yellow poncho flapping like a sail, and I thought, "This is the day to do the quiet indoor things." But then I remembered the Wool March was meant to be passing through Den Hoorn today, and I had promised myself I would see it.
speaker_0UNKNOWN
0:33
I pulled on my rain trousers, which I have learned not to leave the house without here, and filled my thermos with coffee from the pot in the kitchen.

I've been on Texel for eight days now, and the constant movement, the cycling, the ferry crossings, the new faces, it is a wonderful kind of tired, but my body is starting to ask for a slower gear.

0:27
Today, I decided to give it one.
speaker_0UNKNOWN
0:29
The plan was simple: a late breakfast in Den Burg, a wander through the town, and then, because the weather was threatening to clear, a slow cycle over to De Koog for the final day of the End of Summer Festival.
speaker_0UNKNOWN
1:57
As I got closer to De Koog, the character of the road changed.
speaker_0UNKNOWN
2:01
The farmhouses gave way to holiday parks and hotels, and the number of cars and camper vans increased.
