Boating what has changed

[TiggerToo]

Covid has made any B.... inconveniences pale into insignificance

it is a compounding effect. Plus its consequences are there to stay, until the UK gets a successful vaccination against dementia

I deleted the original content of my previous post.

In it I'd said that in order to fulfil my one or two year plan to clear off and spend the foreseeable future sailing around Europe I now have to sell up and move there.

It fudged the political bit.

I couldn't really be more British, but the strange thing is that although it's me that's migrating I feel that Britain left me.

I fear it may not be my only departure...

You are by no means alone.

I don't think you will be subject to a 90 /180 rule .....you'll just get the 180 as a matter of course...........

Do you have a reference for that please?
Things like visa and 90/180 rules are normally established on a reciprocal basis

Has brexit affected your boating , this is NOT a political question.

NO not at all

Not in this case. Our guvmint rejected the EU's offer of reciprocity, instead choosing the standard 90/180 Schengen allowance. Hopefully this will be renegotiated in the future.

I put in citizen of Belgium, but it's the same for citizens of all EU countries except Ireland...

You will not need a visa to come to the UK - Check if you need a UK visa - GOV.UK

As you sail away (or Britain retreats into the distance ?) look to port and to starboard. You will see many going in the opposite direction

repeated above the bit that applies to me.

In yachtmaster thread someone said you cannot arrive at St Vaast port but had to check in at the bigger port of Cherbourg first. I no longer sail in that area but has Brexit caused restriction in EU countries on what port you can arrive from UK?

Are there now "official" requirements to check in on arrival and get passport stamped or is this overlooked for short stays?

I certainly have had to show my passport at the marina office when sailing to other Portuguese Ports but its not involved the border police!

reducing the international transmission of Illness and Viruses

Interesting point. Someone else posted link to government website stating visitors can come to UK for 6 months without requiring a visa.

I would question your logic. Are illness and viruses more likely to be spread by EU citizens who before Brexit lived and worked permanently in UK than visitors that can still stay for up to 6 months?

Excellent, I'll probably need a bit of cheering up.

I am sorry to have to say it to someone I like (mostly) but that is just xenophobic rubbish!

don't. There is none

I once would not have thought twice about Ostende or Vlissingen, but now I do.

Am thinking of Scotland for next year.

God NO! We had a brilliant season this year with lovely weather and reasonable temperatures. And that NEVER happens two years in a row. The only drawbacks were the lack of wind and getting bored with every day being comfortably warm. After a few days you just want a nice cool day of drizzle or driving rain. I'd leave it for a year or three.

So far, I've only heard about ports of entry being stipulated in France, not heard of any restrictions on boats arriving or leaving to/from Spain or Portugal.

Just start fishing. The helpful French authorities will escort you to port

I now have to worry about the nationality of my crew. If I sail to the mainland via Ireland with a crew of EEA dual-nationals do I have to go via a port of entry? .... and do I need to fly "Q"? So far B&*%£t has cost me well over £2k for dual nationality for me and my wife - who do I sue?
