6^thOctober



Ooestende to Zeebrugge 16nm



Had a look at the tides, currents and weather situation for the next few days and decided that our original plan of going to Breskens on Thursday would not work as there is a double low tide on Thursday and that would not give us enough time to get up the coast before the currents were against us. So, late decision and left today. Also gets us out of the worst wind expected tomorrow. Pulled into the visitors pontoon and another boat that had just arrived took our lines. Had a chat and they were impressed that we had come ‘all the way from Australia’. One wants to do a circumnavigation so he was very keen for a chat. They had just come up from Oostende for a day sail, would have lunch and would go back on the turn of the tide!!
