According to the ECF Sixpence Calender (sticky), the Oostende trip seems to be listed as the weekend AFTER the Bank Holiday?? /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif
For the first time in a long time, the UK End of May Bank Holiday does not coincide with the Ostend @ Anchor festival.
The ECF calendar marks the festival.
I'm off to the boat after brekkie - up to Shotley to await Beancounter crew. Away at first light on Friday - looks like 15 hours with a chute up /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif
