Sunny, warm but also enough wind to keep up a good speed.
We had an enjoyable trip, with only one difficult moment.
We took the coastal route to Ramsgate, which is quite shallow. At one point the charts showed that we had to weave between two sand banks, following a red and green buoy.
Well, we never found them. We passed where the charts and gps showed them but they were not there. We had 20 anxious minutes watching the depth - worrying every time that it dropped - but we passed the banks none the wiser!
After that we passed Margate and headed round to Ramsgate - passing a lovely old sailing vessel.
Once at Ramsgate we found that a rally of 28 German boats had got their towels down in the marina before us (!) but managed to grab the very last berth.
Engine service today as well as Paul going up the mast to see if we can finally fix the VHF.
