This cruising guide is the result of many sailing adventures I’ve made from Belgium and Northern France to Eastern England – Harwich, Ramsgate, and London.
Since 2010, I’ve sailed this route over twenty times, on boats ranging from 30 to 50 feet. Each trip has taught me something new and helped sharpen my seamanship
