Maybe not Roompotsluis, but at Roompot Marina. When we phoned Marechaussee, they asked if we wanted checking out or checking in. When the officers turned up, they were armed with both entry and exit stamps (as well as handcuffs and Glock !).

We returned to UK yesterday via Roompotsluis. After a phone call to the Marechaussee in Vlissingen (+31-88 953 0410) on Wednesday afternoon, two officers came to Roompot Marina about a hour later and stamped passports. I believe we then had three days to actually depart. All very easy and...

The watercolour could well be based on New Cut, Ipswich. The width is about right, the trees are similar . . . and there is a chimney!

Could it be Benfleet Creek?

It was Norney Grange, near Shackleford in Surrey.

Nortek, have developed a doppler velocity sensor for Ineos. This sits inside the foil bulb. See: https://insight.nortekgroup.com/ineos

I've used Sena Expand Boom headsets at work where they worked really well. They are duplex, water resistant and were fairly comfortable on the ear. Currently available from Amazon. I wish I had a pair on the boat.

We were there last week. The two toilets at the back were open, but the showers closed.

I'm fairly sure it's the inner harbour Douglas, Isle of Man. In which case the 2nd photo is the right way around.

Other than reducing the sail area, the reefing line's main function is to provide foot tension to flatten the mainsail. Once this is tight, leech tension is controlled with kicker and main sheet. To stop the boom dropping, the reefing pennant needs to be tied to the boom just aft of the cringle.

Unfortunately I think it is only a paper lead. The current race is to get North and be the first to reach the NE trades.

Yes I did mean 000-156-405. Sorry about that. It was incorrectly labeled on my boat wiring diagram. When connected to the GP-33, this cable does not supply power for the display. Power still needs to come from the red and black cores of the CAN bus cable. See pages 9-5 and S1 of the GP-33...

Further to my previous reply, to connect GP-33 to ST1000+ you will need either the Furuno 000-156-145 cable or the SeaTalk NG to SeaTalk 1 converter. I'm not sure which would be the cheaper option.

The CAN bus on the GP-33 has a standard NMEA2000 5 pin connector. The NMEA 0183 is output the 10 pin connector. As well as 0183, this includes wires for MOB and speed alarm. I think the shielded cable you describe with the black and red wires is a NMEA2000 cable with 12V input. If you want to...

The CAN bus on the GPS33 outputs NMEA2000. I think this needs a SeaTalk NG to SeaTalk converter to interface to the ST1000+. Is that what your cable is?

...and equally important, before departure unplug the connection on the pontoon first and then unplug the lead from the boat.
