It was an interesting trip down the coast and across the Thames. I don't think the Thames is quite as busy as the Humber or Harwich now but there were a large number of  giants trying to get through narrow gaps with not much water underneath them. The sandbanks can be seen - even at half tide in some places.  The size of the wind farms , and the physical size of the windmills is a lot bigger. Also the nautical traffic hazard of lots of fast cat style wind farm boats zooming backwards and forwards. There were row after row of service boats in Ramsgate and Dover - seems to have taken over from Fishing completely.  They are desperate for crew and would have even taken me if my tickets were still valid..

Buffer is however safe and sound in Dover where she may stay a few days due to strong winds - which characteristically are still on the nose.... More pictures next time as I am on a public computer at the moment
