Has Chellers arrived safely?

[Athene V30]

Took a beat out to the Wallet Spitway arriving just after LW today but couldn't see a Cat approaching.

Certainly seemed to have some good wind for the trip round from Eastbourne.

Hope you got to B'sea OK

Using this contraption:

Chellers has arrived here:

Mariners looking rather mahogany-coloured but they had a good sail if slightly less wind than optimal. They arrived at 4:30pm so were later than you.

We'll see you all on Saturday. Thanks for looking out for us, Flipper!

And here are some pictures from along the way (can you spot where they are?)

1st one has to be Dungeness.

I was just driving away from the boatyard having spent a frustrating day playing around with the electrics on 'Endymion' I saw a cat heading towards Morgans pontoons and was wondering if that was you...obviously it was! Welcome to Brightlingsea!!!

I'm guessing the last one is either Outer Toungue, or more likely, Swin Spitway?

Don't think it is Swin, I seem to remember it being taller and thinner! Maybe I just don't look properly anymore.

Thats why I hedged, as it didn't feel quite right to me either..... but then there are a good few hundred marks to choose from in that part of the world... /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Are the 2 lighthouses Dungeness as well? Black one is the Old lighthouse. Useless fact - Adjacent to Lighthouse is Dungeness Station, the final stop of the famous Romney, Hythe & Dymchurch Light Railway re-opened after WW11 in 1947 by Hollywood Stars Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy. The Railway runs a regular service through from Hythe for most of the year.

Did that trip a few years ago but been to sleep since then so I've forgotten or is it /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Third picture is the Seven Sisters.

When I came round Dungeness it was as flat as the proverbial and no wind /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif I've heard of people stemming a foul tide there for hours and hours.

[/ QUOTE ]it is indeed Swin Spitway.

The second pic was Dungeness.

The third pic (glassy sea) was just outside Dover.

Well guessed folks!

[/ QUOTE ]It was! We're the only cat there - in fact we're rather fatter than everyone else there which is a bit sobering.

We went for some mooring practice today and it was very hard work getting away from the pontoon - hoping that was just a bad first attempt and that it will get easier as we are more in practice.

Saw your boat in the yard as we drove off.

Now then I have not often heard "does my bum look big in this" applied to boats, think of her feelings! /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif
