In the lock at Eastbourne
Leaving Dover W entrance. Castle in the background
Warm sun all day. Wind cool and from the E. Only light wind so a bit slow. Straight out of Dover without having to wait for any ships. Sailed slowly until a few miles from Eastbourne, then tired of slow progress and motored. Passed through a big group (well 200 is big for me) of Gannets, gulls and 1 tern which were fishing and sitting about on the water. Our fishing line was already out but we did not catch anything. Suspect the birds were looking in the wrong place too. Pam says the birds were fishing for sand eels and we were fishing for mackerel.
