Having left Scheveningen at midnight, we've made pretty good progress in a fickle NW wind. More ships than you can shake a big stick at as we passed the entrance to Rotterdam at 0200. One cowboy caused the skipper to tell him what he thought of his seamanship. Similar number of bees round the Zerbrugge / Antwerp approach,  but all behaved as one would hope.

Currently in bright sunshine hoping this wind will hold for long enough to catch the next favourable tide around Cap Griz Nez at around midnight....
