2009 plans

Due to circumstances beyond my control I've never had an annual cruise /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

Holland is pencilled in for 2010 and leaving the boat there for a bit.

2009 - Ostend return down the French coast. Summer - Lowestoft and southwards very slowly. Just more.
 
We're thinking of heading the other way and doing the French bit - depending on whether the fishermen are blockading ports and the wind blowing favourably. We'll be drawn (as usual) to Zierikzee for the August bank hol though
 
Making no plans or brash decisions until I've got a bit further on than I am at the moment, and I know some think I'm daft or just winding people up, but we still intend making Oostende next year. Current line of thought is to take a couple of weeks and do the East coast from the Wash to somewhere around Deben or Shotley, then maybe go straight over, maybe coast hop some more before the jump off.
No, I aint joking, the boat can do it, and now I think the crew can too, so it's about time Guapa had his chance to get me tiddly over there /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
 
Given the parlous state of the pound/euro relationship, I have decided to head up to the Wash. And back, taking in wells, Lowestoft and Southwold, together with a proper tour of the Ore/Alde and fish'n'chips in Aldeburgh.

No Oostende, as its Lynns 50th back in Canewdon (an open season event, I hope a lot of you will come to). Hog Roast. Again. Groan.

We have swapped Full Circle for a forumite boat on the Clyde for a week in June. Dunstaffnage the prize there.

Late season week up to St Kats.
 
According to RYA

Netherlands

The Netherlands is introducing regulations on the discharge of black water. From January 2009 it is prohibited to discharge black water (toilet waste) from all pleasure boats on all inland waterways, lakes, the Waddensea and territorial waters. Pleasure boats can be installed with holding tanks, dry or chemical toilets or boaters could choose simply not to use their toilets.

500 mile solo trip in May to check out if I am up to this Jester lark ending up in Calais for BH weekend before cruising up to Ostend for @ anchor. If I have achieved the non stop solo bit I will be for a PARTY but may doze off from time to time!!

Then in July am most likely joining a RNVR YC rally from Brighton to Fecamp and the a week on the French coast.

Keeping the business going so I can still go sailing!

Well the planning is the easy bit!
