Our First Stopover, A day in port.
Dover The gateway to Britain, The nearest point to France and Britain's busiest port, is a great place to visit, especially if you are into history.
Dover Museum, Dover Museum is one of the oldest museums in Kent. It was originally founded in 1836, houses amongst other things "The Dover Boat" dating back to the Bronze age, The Worlds oldest sea faring boat.
Dover Castle With it's secret wartime tunnels, English Heritage this on if you're a member
St James Retail Park is a 15min walk away for grabbing some provisions, notably an Iceland outlet for frozen ready meals.
Pubs and restaurants a plenty.
This week - Next Week
The last stop for this week will be Ramsgate just a short hop up the coast Friday looks good for this, leaving around 1100hrs
Next week we round the corner into the Thames estuary. This is an area of shallow water, Sandbanks and strong tides,
There are no fewer than 7 wind farms between Ramsgate and Harwich ( our next major stop), few marinas and relatively few safe anchorages, however I'm sure we'll find something.
I think the weather forecast will play a larger part of the passage decisions for the next few days.
