Is that a lightship, or the Ross revenge I can see in the background Fred??

There are two lightships now used as liveaboards over at Hoo marina.The old Caroline ship has gone round to the Thames somewhere.

Yep thanks Fred.
I think she's at Tilbury..but I did hear a rumour that she was coming back round to Queenborough...probably not.
It all a bit "Severn Valley Railway" these days.

Nice piccy Fred and apart for a bit of uppy downy and roly poly around North Foreland it was a lovely trip. Even kept the "long wait"/free poppadom Indian down.
The tent boat is a Camargue 47 belonging to friend who probably left Ramsgit about 5 minutes before we passed Garrison point and took some photos of us before Folly point, hence us showing off at a heady 19 knots!
Sorry didn't see you Mike, it must have been the death grip on the bumper car type steering wheel and travelling at such a heady velocity!

Re: Unit 18 returns to the \"Med\" past Oldgit Towers.

Sorry no time to call you up - had non boaty friends on board asking lots of questions like "how much would that one cost" and then "HOW MUCH?"

Also making smoke to hide ourselves from various raggies. /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif

Did get more raggie waves than before, though. Maybe a new spirit of enlightenment has hit the med?

Glad you had a good trip - we've not made it past Garrison Point so far as work schedule rather hit by the cold and wet winter. /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

Must say whoever set the course for the racing was inspired or we were just lucky!
