Hi. We're at present planing to move from Essex to France/Belgium this month or next, and I can't find much recent/up to date info on here regarding mooring/overwintering options in NW France and/or Belgium. We probably wouldn't be looking to go too far from Calais/Dunkerque (couple of day sails maybe). Can anyone recommend somewhere safe and cheap to leave the boat (sail, LOA 9m, draft 1.4m) for the winter, either ashore or afloat? If we leave with nothing booked in advance, are we likely to find that there's little space available, waiting lists, etc.? We only require something for this winter, as we plan to move on next year.
Also, does anyone have any current experience of trying to cross the channel as a foot passenger? Many of the normal options don't seem to be running at present due to Covid. And goodness only knows how the situation is going to develop in the coming weeks...
TIA!
