Sailing!

We left Ramsgate on Friday morning and fought the wind & tide up to North Foreland. It was a little choppy but nothing bad. Once we got to the Outer Fisherman's Gat buoy we turned into a sailing boat!

The wind gradually got up as we went and we rolled more and more of the main onto the boom and eventually put the jib away.

We haven't updated the charts. A mistake. The Sunk Beacon has gone.

Once we got into the Whitaker we were on an almost dead run all the way to Burnham, touching 6 knots (with the tide) at times.

It was sunny all day and quite lovely.

Worm towed beautifully.
