This rather large tug moors up behind us. Its been dredging the river and is heading for Dendermo-nde. So are we.

We're invited onboard (here we go again, its Belgium)and the owner of the tug offers to tow us, against the tide, to Dendermonde in the morning. Then we go under our own steam to Gent, by which time the tide will have turned in our favour.This journey was going to take us two days without their help, with their help just the one so, Yes please!
