A few pics of a weekend at Ramsgate

Leaving Gillingham after topping up with fuel

Off into the Princes Channel, Red Sands Towers nearby and Shivering Sands in the distance.

Yes, we did have to turn into his wash....

Finding a berth in Ramsgate

Getting ready to go back after a couple of days..

Leaving Ramsgate

William helping keep a look out for pot markers as we were taking the overland route back..

Passing Garrison point, nearly home

A nice few days away with friends and our first coastal hop since buying the boat, a few snags to sort out but enjoyed being out and about again.

Ramsgate quite happy that you had a dog? I’m asking because we have a similar one and we’re hoping to visit in June.

 

[Nauti Fox]

Yes, no problem at all, in fact I took them both with me when I paid.

Was u using I pad for nav

I left Ramsgate at 5 am on Saturday just missed you Al,

And I used My Ipad all through my Journey from Amsterdam back to Faversham Inland and at sea
I use an APP called Embark which is free once charts are loaded the GPS works with no problem even when phone signal or internet stop at sea.

Nice pics and glad the trip went well. Did they charge you for the full length of the boat for the overnight mooring that you were given ?

Yep, no problem although it was on a rising tide, timed to arrive at Cuxton at high tide. There was about 4 metres through the Copperas channel.

It's an android tablet supplied by London Chartplotters and worked perfectly. If you look to the left of the picture you'll also see a Raymarine plotter.

Those pics brought back pleasant memories from our delivery trip back in 2007, when we took the same route from Gillingham to Ramsgate.

Looks to have been a successful trip for you, congrats on the new boat!

Thanks for posting.
