Had a great sail yesterday morning on a friend's Contessa 32 out of Chatham. Worked our way up the Medway then turned and ran into Stangate Creek.

3 Blokes on board - the other two both based in Chatham and (you'd think) would know where the water is.

And isn't.

Anyway - we got to the bottom of the creek about 2 hrs before low water and decided to spend the afternoon - generally putting the world to rights. Stayed there...coincidentally until about 2 hrs after high water before heading back.

Fortunately supplies and morale were high and the weather wasn't too unkind!

Where else but the East Coast can you anchor without actually putting out an anchor:rolleyes:
