booombastique, guys & girls! Nail-biting race and everybody won. :) BTW, we sailed our boat from Brighton to Rouen this week with two nights in Honfleur. Took a ferry back to the UK yesterday as the crane operator in Rouen is on holiday and we didn't want to waste our post-Br*$@!!! stay limits.
Congratulations Igor on getting into Rouen - excellent! On the Brex… 90/180 - today we received our passports back from long stay visa application 23/03/23 and thankfully they accepted the Long Stay documentation submitted Now we have until November to visit France multiple times and stay as long as we want within the 6 months period. This doesn’t affect the Schengen visa - so we could be in France for 6 months and elsewhere in Europe for 3 months! Glad you liked the video! Stay safe & enjoy cruising JnS
Great video thanks. How good do you find the folding bikes are for covering distances. We are unsure whether to get folding or full sized bikes for our river cruiser in Netherlands
Hello and thank you for watching. If you have room on your boat for full sized bikes then this is a better choice for longer distances. If your available boat space is limited then folding bikes are great and they're good for raising heart rate too :) Smaller wheels increase effort required compared to larger wheels. I can't really say which would be best for you - but I know our folding bike helped immensely. Stay safe and enjoy cruising the Netherlands. JnS
Another great video.
Thanks again Patrick

@@sailingoptions yep, we'll have to do this at some point. 6 months is OK, but a year would be more welcome. Regards.
@@ivsuk 100% agree with that sentiment 👍
