Oestende vor Anker (1-6-09) Ostend at Anchor is one of those on-the-water events that the continentals do so well; no racing or trundling from place to place, just lots of interesting boats and interesting folk. Free mooring, cheap food and drink, lots of music, markets and entertainment. It has become so popular that this year the entry had to be restricted, and 150,000 visitors flocked to admire the 350 traditional and classic boats on view. Seven boats made it from the east coast OGA - and can’t wait to go back for next year’s event. Sue Lewis; Bonify. Ostend-Station-with-flags. Old-Gaffers. Crew-Happy-Hour.
