The OGA fleet celebrated the Dutch OGA 10th anniversary with a spectacular feast at Enkhuisen. Lobsters, oysters, prawns, shrimps, languistine, crab, cockles and winkles were laid in a huge iced display stand, while Dover soul, chicken, beef, and pork were barbecued outside. There were various salads and breads, and then, when no one could eat another mouthful crepes were cooked at the bar to be served with fresh fruit and chocolate sauce....
The Jazz band got people dancing, the bar had plentiful cheap drinks. This was gaffer hospitality at its best! I ate too much, and drank too much, and woke up feeling fragile!
Next day the fleet was due to head to Wurkum in Friesland, but too much wind in the weather forecast meant the idea was abandoned in case the smaller boats could not get back to Den Helder, the final destination. Rather than head to Den Helder we decided on Kajan that we would start our trip home.
