Veerse Meere

 

Once in Veerse Meere we anchored opposite Kortgene waiting for me to see a dentist as I had broken a tooth. We spent a couple of nights in the marina while the tooth was fixed and then went further down the meere.

There is an offshoot from the meere which we have always found wonderful and it is just a three mile ride to a supermarket.

Well we had never been in there in the height of the summer holidays when we found it to be absolutely packed so we only spent a couple of nights there before going out to anchor.

One thing we did discover was the local airport which has a really good restaurant where you can watch the planes and parachutists while eating. We went there twice.

The winds have been Westerly for ages and so we waited for things to change which it hasn’t so in the next few days we will take advantage of the odd days of fair wind to get along the coast to Blankenberg and Niewpoort before crossing to Dover.

The plan will be to take the canal past Middleburg to Flushing and wait overnight before heading to Blankenberg first thing in the morning.
