Coming into Stangate on Thursday in the dark to anchor I thought I was seeing the illuminated masts of a platform or such parked off the entrance to Sharfleet.In fact it was the only other vessel anchored in the creek - a pretty large yacht with its mast and three sets of trees snazzily lit and with the large low level saloon windows looking very inviting in the murk.
No trace on AIS now - seemed to be called Patience - any body know more.

A rather large Oyster came by the house (Chatham) yesterday evening, I'd wager it was that. Difficult to tell but would say 60ft plus.

There is a 21m yacht called Patience of London in Chatham Marina according to Marine Trafic AIS

Thank you gents for the correct identification.I should have taken a photo on the way out in the morning but too occupied with getting underway.
I'll wait for Marine Traffic to provide a picture.
She looks like an Oyster 625 - I worried a bit about those apparently low windows - presumably she doesnt sail with decks awash ?
