Thames estuary crossing...

[NUTMEG]

Only to be watched if you really have nothing better to do. No film of the scary bits though. Really should just leave the camera running to capture the exciting moments.

Interesting looking boat - Rose.
What is she? (forgive my ignorance).

Great video I'm doing this trip from Tollesbury to Ramsgate next week !

Good fun. Did I understand that electron gizmo correctly; did you come through the Middle Sunk on the way back?

 

[NUTMEG]

Er. Yes I think we did, via Fishermans Gat. Was that naughty?

 

[LittleSister]

That's an impressively commodious boat you've got there. Reminds me of a Cornish Crabber (not!). Hope it's proving more agreeable to Mrs. Sophie19.

 

[NUTMEG]

Well she has promised to come sailing overnight!

Still miss my old crabber though

No, not naughty. Unusual maybe and you need (needed) to pay due heed to the unmarked wreckage of the Sunk Beacon. For some reason my browser won't enlarge the image so I cannot see if it is marked. It was a little longer than the SW Sunk route.

As a general comment to other readers, I would caution anybody about relying on ANY official chart of the sands to the SW of Waypoint 5 at the moment. There has been no official survey there and the shape of the 'green bits' is just plain wrong. Hence the chartlet on the SW Sunk on my website and the provision of two safe waypoints.
