mast up to Bruge via Zeebruge

[LeonF]

Has anyone made this trip and can they recommend a pilot guide? Also, is it possible to make a circular trip carrying on to Ghent and exiting atTerneuzen? all without dropping ones mast of course. Thanks.

you can reach the circle of bruges but not beyond the fixed bridge called "Brug Ring Brugge" which has a free hight of 9 m and that is the south of Bruges.
in zeebrugge : take the Vandamme lock [preferably together with a professional vessel if you don't want to pay] next 2 bridges [spoorbrug van Dudzele and Herdersbrug ] will be opened upon VHF request, in bruges : verbindingssluis [= name of the lock] On the circle canal around Bruges all bridges are movable except unfortunate the last one, but even up till that place it's pitoresk enough
good luck
