Not many in the Thames, Swin Spitway or Wallet either:D. James decided not to spend the night in the Medway & we did the trip in 1 hit. Just made into the bar before the rain really hit on Saturday evening. Were forced to have a lie in this morning instead of getting wet and windswept:p

PS, didn't spot any container ships hiding behind the yankee either:D

Storming sail from just off Tilbury back to SYH on Saturday. The forecast 8s failed to rear their heads and we got good SE 5s. Passed a big cutter going south, which I saw in Limehouse today when I picked up the car.

Offshore it was windy, warm and sunny. What more could you ask for?
