Re: Cruising sailor finds massive ancient temple site in Philippines

Stop pratting about in a boat and borrow a plane equipped with LIDAR.
Then you can see exactly what is under the trees and vegetation.

Re: Belgian customs at it again

I wonder how much trade has been lost by the Belgian sailing clubs and marinas on account of this..

Meanwhile, st Tropez has seen a 30% drop in visitors.

Re: Belgian customs at it again

I last filled up at Hammond Port Services in Dover. They supply pilot boats and a number of other port activities. I paid vat on the fuel I bought and obtained a receipt.

Re: Belgian customs at it again

It would be good if we had some members from Belgium who could have a look at the various harbours etc. Obviously there are likely to be very few UK boats in Belgium. But does that make a difference?

Re: Thoughts about propellors..

We have very little below the waterline and carry lots of windage wnen the wind is sideways on. Getting off a pontoon, or turning round when the wind is across you is very duifficult.
