Fab evening spent with fellow ecf'ers in foreign lands, consuming lots of very fine rum, putting faces to forum names. Really great evening and well worth the trip, 3 more days, can't wait.....

Some friendly advice: refrain from drinking Duvel in the morning ?
I hope to be in Oostende saturday evening. Blue Starlight 39, Belgian flag.

Anyone know if Nordmark made it back? He was having more engine trouble
