Bradwell to Rotterdam and back in 1969 - sailing cruise cine film video

Bradwell - Ramsgate - Dunkirk - Oostend - Dordrecht Canal - Rotterdam - Hook of Holland - Bradwell, undertaken in a botter(?).

Interesting to see how things have changed!

Lots of wooden boats and a Siluette

I was struck by how the boats were far fewer, generally smaller and much better looking than today.

The ships seemed generally smaller, too, but more numerous.

Very interesting but would benefit with a bit of editing. We appear to jump from Ostend to Veere.
Lots of places I thought I recognised.

Quite interesting, though I admit to skipping through some bits. It looks as if they were able to go up the Eurotower when it was half completed. When I went up some while ago the extra bit almost doubled its height. I was unclear about how far or for how long they were out when the F8 was forecast, but I'm sure they dined out on it for a good while.
