Roompot again

We have come back to the Roompot marina ready to clear customs ( have our passports stamped) and lock out into the North Sea as soon as the weather looks reasonable. We have had strong SW winds for days, but all the forecasts say it should be more favourable tomorrow and Wednesday. We are here with Transcur and Clytie, also keen to get back to the Thames area.

There doesnt seem to be much permanent habitation here. Apart from the marina, there is a large holiday camp with beaches etc. We were puzzled that all the signs seem to be in English and Dutch, despite the fact that there are no English visitors apart from a few yachtsmen.

Most of the visitors cars have German number plates, and of course Germany has very little North Sea coastline or coastal resorts and so many take their holidays in the Netherlands. We were interested that sensitivities are clearly such that signs for foreign visitors are in English rather than German.

On a more practical note, we hope to be locking out at first light tomorrow......
