Monday 18 & Tuesday 19 May
With bad weather in the offing we decided to sit out the
rain and wind for the next two days in this delightful town. With rain, sleet,
hail, wind and sunshine we did not much although we went to the Museum aan de Izer
where Lynn took the lift to the 22nd floor of the tower, shaped like
a battlefield cross, and photographed the town with Elle on the river in the
foreground.

The best thing was that Kuurne have agreed to
refund us our summer mooring fee and now we will be in berth #5 at Diksmuide
with a great 10m finger to moor up against and with minimal passing commercial
traffic.

| 'Our' mooring will be 5th along from the grey havenmeester's office. |
So, later that evening, the occasion was celebrated...
Well done on the refund, certainly looks like a celebration! If you ever have a moment to ask if they would take a 20 m barge for a long winter (i.e. including April to June inclusive), I'd be interested as another option for a mooring in Belgium. Great photo of the port too!
ReplyDeleteHi Ian, Will ask but please confirm dates. One of the best run marinas we have come across and there is space for a 20m barge along the wall where we were moored but will need to confirm availability. Will be back there on 11 or 12 June.

Asked today. About €1300 compared to Veurne €2000. Perhaps 2016.
