Oostende to Ramsgate Strategy

[alec]

Hi folks !

Hope everyone is enjoying the summer.

Will be coming south from Holland probably next week.

Will likely cross over from Oostende to Ramsgate for a day or two.

Would be grateful for any best times to cross recommendations etc

Thanks in advance.

Leave Ostend
Steer 270°
That should do it.

Alternatively, you could 'follow the ferry'.
Head SW along the coast - to somewhere of Dunkirk.
Then cross the TSS.

For second option - check your tides!
You don't want to be pushing the tide off Nieuwpoort & Dunkirk.

Second option also bit longer.
First option Ostend-Ramsgate 56NM
