    ⛵️Walton Channel 2024🛥️

    There were lots of unused moorings in the Crouch some years ago and have remained so. Less buoys put out in Bradwell Creek and the marina has a waiting list. I guess that many of those who can afford boat ownership prefer to do it from a marina.

    Advice on Belgium and Netherlands Cruise.

    Can’t find where I read that. It was on here. I assume it was to do with the motorway bridge. There’s an app called Water Map Live that gives all the bridge opening times but my subscription has run out.

    Advice on Belgium and Netherlands Cruise.

    What Daydream says but didn’t I read somewhere that the route to Amsterdam from Haarlem is not available this year? In another post there was reference to a customs place just before the lock to Ijmuiden. Anyway, I don’t think that you want to go that far north in two weeks. Willemstad is...
