QUOTE:(....What are you wanting to cross ??? The river ? the Channel or the Atlantic ?.....)

Hahaa - that's a very good point which I missed out!

Across the channel / North Sea...

I'm not sure what the usuall 'first timers' route is...?

Ramsgate - Dunkerke?
Harwich - Oostende?

I keep the boat on the River Stour, so Harwich is right on my door - but that seems like rather a large gap, from Harwich to Oostende.

As for equipment, we're quite well kitted out - she's quite a seaworthy, well maintained boat. Good space below for 3 plus a load of food, or 4 with less supplies. I think 3 would be a better idea.

I have looked at the charts aroud Ramsgate / Thames estuary and there does seems to be an absolute maze of sandbanks to run into...
