I bought some more rope specially. Alladdins Cave doing deals at the mo if you buy it as a 50m or 100 m length. Since I needed new mooring lines anyhow I bought 50m. Will slice of a couple of 12 and a halfs for mooring and keep 25 m in one piece for Ostend unless anyone tells me different.

Sounds sensible to me.... having a long line on board is no bad thing anyway for those unexpected moments!

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

I'm led to believe that Brut can used as a cold start assistance fuel.....

<<<Get 30 Mts >>>
I am not shortening my lines just for Oostende. 
With new lazyjacks, I am now well over 1km of rope onboard.

Come on over to the East Coast Forum . You meet a nicer forumite there.

That'll be handy.... if there isn't a stern buoy free, you can use West Hinder.....

Forgive what will seem an obvious question to many...
When using the buoy to keep off the wall do you need to get a line through the ring on the buoy as you pass it? How is this done?
How do you get ashore (presumably over the bow) Is it better to come in stern to?
Haven't executed this particular manouevre before so hope it's OK to pick the collective brains
