1-4 May Planning for our cruise to Bruges was a bit more complicated that usual:
* the railway bridge at the edge of Veurne had been closed for 6 weeks and was supposed to re-open in 1 May. * The locks in Nieuwpoort only open for 2 hours on either side of high tide (as at low tide the water is too low for a passage) * Once past Niewpoort we have to join a convoy to go through all the bridges to Plassendale. This only starts out on the odd hours during the day. * We had heard that moorings in Plassendale and nearby Oudenburg are full of boats waiting to enter Oostende for a big event coming up in about a week. So we visited the lock keeper to confirm everything ad made our plans to leave at 10:30 on Tuesday.
