Day one 6th June
The holiday got off to a great start, all packed ready to go early, the house secured, Dot backed the car off the drive I turned the ignition key and nothing happened. The van was completely dead, I used the battery booster pack we have, no joy, I tried to jump it from the leisure battery and still no joy. Drove the car between the trees at the end of our garden and across the lawn to the van opened the bonnet (hood) and the car appeared to have no battery (the car is fairly new to us and had no need to find the battery before). Eventually found it hidden tidily away, connected the jump leads and the van fired up first time, we still do not know why the battery was flat.
Uneventful Hull to Zeebrugge crossing, the entertainment still hasn't got any better, the Stella and wine was cheap in the ships shop, so we bought some to last us for the first couple of days.
