OK very droll. I left myself open to that. But it was Holland!

Just come back and everything was easy including use of visa credit card.
If you go via Belgium be prepared to fill in a Schengen Crew List - we had entered and left the Schengen area via Zeebrugge and the RBYC HM faxed the forms to the local Water Police office each time. It all seemed rather laxed but there was a a notice in the office window advising visitors of the requirement. I guess if his office was closed on arrival I would have posted a copy though the office door just to be on the safe side of compliance. The onus is after all on the skipper to comply at the point of Schengen entry and exit. That said this was the first time in decades that I have been asked to comply despite the requirement clearly stated in Schengen regs.
Top Tip on the catering front - ask for a discount card if you buy from Albert Heijn!
