I was also very unimpressed with Roompot Marina, one of the few Dutch places I avoid. On a previous visit we were allowed to overnight on the sluis waiting pontoons this is no longer allowed at most locks. There was also an excellent fish and chippy under the Roompot road bridge.We liked to return via the Roompot. The marina is nothing special to my mind, which is why we preferred to stay at Colijnsplaat. I once tried to refuel at the Roompot marina only to find that there wasn’t enough depth at the fuel pontoon when we arrived, around LW. The clearance under the road at the lock is not enough for all yachts and larger yachts may need to leave nearer LW, which is then wrong for those going south. The tide runs at nearly 4 kn outside, which is useful but can kick up quite a sea for a few miles. The direct route to Harwich then takes you through wind farms, which is part of the reason we usually returned via Blankenberg.
