"Gentlemen you may start your engines"

When the bridge lifted I am sure for onlookers (not skippers) more entertaining than a F1 start!

That, it has to be said, looks pretty close to my idea of hell. Give me a secluded quiet East Coast creek with only the birds and the seals for company any day!

I showed it to my wife, and she still wants to go there tomorrow! I'd rather go outside.

The swing bridge had just closed behind our transom, so the gap between the bridges was somewhat full

Sounds good but we've still got plenty to get home, even though we filled up at Lunegat on the Lauersmeer.

Change of plan. A bit grotty outside today so I think we'll do Blankenberg tomorrow and then home. Lightning a bit close in the night, less than two seconds.

Avoid school holidays, if you can.. .. Its a different place

Did a quick overnight there Saturday. Very pretty but didn't find it too amazing for the kids. In Goes for our third and final night, loved it here but time to head further north.

The harbour of its twin town/city here is a bit quieter - wait till I put my 19'er back in!
