If you are lucky you'll end up in a big space to start with.... we did last year, and had enough room to warp the boat round to stern too, which made entry and exit somewhat easier!

I remember that maneuver.

It involved a lot of rope, some grunting and not a lot of approval from God. /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif

I hope we do not end up squashed between 2 of you big bullies. /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Whoops, a little open to interpretation lol
I work in the accounts department of a fruit and veg importing company and the summer months are quite busy as it is the season for Spanish farmers.

Oostend berthing is every man for himself then hope we not to close to FC the noise of all those bilge pumps will waken the dead /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif (sorry Jim cheap shot) hope all the water ingress issues are now a thing of the past.
Bows to for us then as Artemis has really bad disliking to going astern Jim we must have a discussion about Kiwi Props I am leaning in that direction rather than a cruising chute (cant afford both) hoping it will help with wicked prop walk Art has as well as a little extra speed under sail.
Sounds like Middleberg is well worth a visit none of us in a hurry home.

Ah, the grand plan is to utilise the bilge pumps as part of the AirCon system, as they will only be picking up dust from the bilges from here on in. /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif They will also help keep the wine cool.

I haven't quite worked out why I am Billy No Mates, apparently sailing from Burnham in one hit all the way across on my own. Must be the underarm deodorant.

Roger, that's what happens when she uses my laptop with me signed in instead of the PC with herself signed in /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
That'll teach me to kick her off the PC /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif

 

[Phoenix of Hamble]

Jim,

What time are you planning on leaving Burnham?

We may end up meeting off Sunk somewhere.....

Ebb starts at about 02h00, so with a 14 hr crossing, we'll probably aim to leave about then.... bit earlier than your suggestion, but does ensure a sensible arrival time in Oostende as well though!


[/ QUOTE ]

Our current plan is to leave Levington at about 03.00, dependent on Thursdays workload. Might bring it forward a little if you lot are only setting out an hour earlier. All dependent on previous days workload, and traffic on A14.

 

[FullCircle]

Leaving around 1pm on the Thursday, ebb out to Long Sand Head, turn right.
Arrive Oh Christ Hundred Hours Friday Morning.

 

[Phoenix of Hamble]

OK... you'll be a good few hours ahead of us then.... i'm guessing you'll be at LSH by 17h00ish.... we'll not be there until probably 06h00, and you'll be Oostende virtually by then......

 

[sailorman]

0200 hours; midnight, 0400 hours. Is this a trip to Ostend or a meeting of insomniacs anonymous?

 

[Phoenix of Hamble]

Its a meeting of Icantstandpluggingintothetideatanytimeofnightordayniacs.... and a fringe meeting of Iliketoarriveduringdaylightsothaticanstillgetabeeriacs.....
