Past Rotterdam!

There's been slow progress of late, so to put in a 40 nautical miler today was welcome. Also getting past Rotterdam with its continual stream of fast moving shipping. Later I found myself offshore between points of land, but inside offshore sandbanks so on nice flat water. Easy stopping for a rest, as the seals know well.

Forecast is atrocious from tomorrow afternoon and thunder is rumbling now as I write this. Need to get somewhere before the wind comes in strong - that could be in Belgium.

A chance landing at Zeeland Cat Club means I've facilities and a roof tonight (and a fridge-ful of Heineken!). People are great! Time for sleep - need an earlyish start.

Am now more south than Clacton!
