As I'm off to Cornwall tomorrow for the weekend, I thought I'd post now to wish Bon Voyage (or the Flemish equiv) to those of you heading East. It looks like the wind might back enough to avoid a beat all the way and the vis is forecast to improve. Have a good trip and go easy on the moules.

Goede reis!
Try the Schelte some time, Breskens, Vlissingen and Terneuzen are all quite pleasant.
Check your echo sounder though. Make sure you know Rule 0 in Col Regs - the biggest boat wins.

If your dog is barking at the back door and your wife is yelling at the front door, who do you let in first?

How embarrassing.

Can I use your berth then as I will be East coasting?

Much obliged. A Bristol Arms fish and chip supper springs to mind.
