Trip: from Roompot (outside harbor) to Oostende (B).
We had decided not to hurry in the morning, as we progressed so well the day before.alcheren.
The weather was good: a nice North Easterly wind force 15 - 18 knots.
Monique behind the steering wheel and Cees and Sam set the Genua with the boom,
and were we managed to reach a good speed and we were able to stay with a large field of competing yachts.
After two hours we made a cours change more to the south (South-West) for approximately 5 hours.
The waves become higher when we reaged a less lower part (Wenduinebank, dept 1m).
We where surfing on those waves, so not only a sailingboot but olso a surfboot!
During the day the wind increased to a real 7 Beaufort.
We arrived at the harber of Oostende at 18 O'clock, After waiting half an hour for the lock and two briges, we saw the place we had assiged was way to small,
probably only for Mister Dingy (oure inflatebel small boat), so we bumed a few bouts and find another place for the next three days.
Total distance: 48 Nautic Miles (six of them where free becouse the good direction of current)
Average speed: 5 knots.
