July 4. To Zeebrugge from Dunkerque.

July 4, 2011: Dunkerque - Breskens.

It was 06:30 AM when Sam went to buy French Bagettes and Croissants at the local bakery.
After our breakfast we started our trip out of France in the direction of Belgium.
The wind was as forecasted just 4 knots headwind, so we had to use the motor.
At 11:30 the wind had increased to 9 - 10 knots and at Oostduinen (B), South of Nieuwpoort, we set sails.

The course was changed to North-West and we sailed with 4,5 knots against the current.
Our goal for today is Zeebrugge (B) or even Breskens (NL).
After 17:00 CET we headed for Blankenberge as we liked that city better then Zeebrugge, but we received no information about the depth of the waterway.
Therefore we changed course to Zeebrugge, where we arrived at 19:00.

We didn't managed to get Proximus internet working, so publishing our blog will have to wait till tomorrow.
Then we will be back in Holland and there our internet should work.


We will keep you updated.
Cees, Sam and Oscar.
