Thank you for the comprehensive briefing. All read, digested and due to be forgotton in about half a minute's time. Perhaps the sensible thing would be to print it out and take it to boat. Will try to remember ....

One thing bothers me ever so slightly. You say no cans (diesel). My diesel tank is about 20 litres capacity. So I always take a 5 litre can or two when I am contemplating a 30 hour round trip. Last time I went over to Ostend we had to motor some of the way there and all of the way back. Without the extra diesel we wouldn't have made it home. Does this mean I can't take a little extra diesel in my cans?
