I wanted to go back since when I was there in October I was only there for one day and I didn't see anything since I was catching up with some friends I hadn't seen in 4 years.

The North Sea / Zeebrugge (04 Jan 2012)
Firstly, thank you to all who raised concerns about how the weather last night affected our passage from Hamburg. It was pretty obvious that it was going to be windy even before we had left the confines of the Elbe and as we headed out away from land it certainly blew us about a bit. It was a clear moonlit night and while I didn't fancy going outside to experience the wind and spray, I could ...
