Ramsgate

I called the marina early this morning and there was less than 9 kts of wind at the east pier. We agreed to go. 7 hours later we have refuelled and are safe on a pontoon in Ramsgate. Finally on the east coast.

The wind is not looking good for getting back to West Mersea tomorrow but at least we are now a day sail from home and should be able to stay in the inner harbour if we need to finish the trip later in the week.
