Thank you
Best if we ignore sailorman and his silly pro-plastic stuff. This year's OvA was my third and the best so far. The organisers do a great job and look after exhibitors very well. I'll be going again next year with a boat-full of revellers.
It's a great shame that so many other east coast sailors were put off attending this year as a result of the red-diesel fiasco. The bit that I really didn't 'get' was that there was an exemption for exhibitors which I do not think was extended to other UK visitors. (Funnily enough, I do not use 'red' so the daft rules would not have affected me.) If I am wrong, then my apologies to the Belgian authorities. Silly, whichever way you look at it.
Sorry to re-ignite an old argument/discussion!

Make sure you have some "stores" o/b nxt year then
I think that The Sea Marge will also be there as that had a fantastic first trip this year

Strewth! There was loads. What happened to it? Oh yeah!
Anyway, I'm assured that I had a great time.
Will be good to meet-up with Sea Marge and her crew again. Cracking lads.
