Moored with few club boats at the end of Stangate Creek on Sunday around LW.
A small dinghy from a local yacht club based at Lower Halstow was observed approaching and landing on the exposed foreshore indicated by the arrow .
The couple in the dinghy then walked up the beach with small dog.
A Black four wheel drive pickup drove along the sea wall towards where the couple had stopped .
The driver of the pickup got out , put something down on the grass next to the vehicle ,then walked down the sea wall and addressed them.
After some discussion, the couple then returned to their dinghy and left.
Being a nosy bunch, we hailed them and asked what had gone on.
The dinghy skipper , a middle aged chap was out fishing with his girl friend and had landed to allow the dog a quick wee.
He explained the driver had told him to get off the beach as it was private property.
After the event, was suggested by a couple of folks in our group with much better eyesight than me, that item laid on the grass was firearm of some decscription, most probably a rifle or shotgun.
