Just Back...again.

[david_steward]

Just back from a fabulous 4 days in Belgium. It was sunny and hot, ate and drank too much (again) and got lots of cheap booze in Nieuwpoort. We also ventured down a canal to Vuerne, which is a charming place similar to Honfleur. All was going well untill we realised that we were certainly not going to get under that bridge with the radar arch up.

It doesn't hinge so we had to unbolt it while holding station in the middle of the canal...The joys of boating.

So calm on the way back to Ramsgate this morning that I nearly fell asleep at the wheel. That usually only happens on the motorway.

Just one question, 4 days of forecast sunny calm weather, hardly saw another cruiser at all. Not one single British boat anywhere in Belgium we went. What is up with you lot on the East coast? To busy having BBQ's and playing at caravans?

I think I've had too much sun!!!

Cor Blimey, you really are rubbing salt in my wounds. I had hoped to be exactly where you were at the same time but I have had one or two delays with the installation of hydraulics and the hinging of my radar arch on my new (2nd hand) boat.
Ho Hum! They hope to be finished today and tomorrow I shall take her to Henley ready for Regatta then afterwards down to the coast and not returning until at least September.

I would have loved to been out boating for the last four days - however having the house extended, work and getting married etc limited me to just going out Sunday.

I thought the same as you - got down on Sunday and was straight out boating. I could not believe the amount of boats just sitting in the marina with many of them occupied. It made me think do they no something I don't.
