Jun. 26, 2009 - Will We Make It To Oostende?

Well this is it. We are off to the boat for a week's cruise and the destination is Oostende.

We are off tomorrow on the 8.00am ferry out of Dover and the plan is - Sunday, down the Veerse Meer to Veere, into the Walcheren Kanal and down to Vlissingen. Monday, out into the Westerschelde and down the coast to Oostende. Tuesday, sight seeing in Oostende. Wednesday, back up to Vlissingen. Thursday, back up to the Veerse Meer, with an overnight stop on an island, perhaps and back to the marina on Friday. Ferry back home Saturday.

The weather forecast is generally for no wind and possible thunder storms - so the whole plan is up in the air and entirely subject to weather. The fall back plan is to cruise up the Oosterschelde and go to Hellovetsluis, or something similar. Who knows?
