2 June 2010 - Depart at last


2 June 2010 - Big rush of preparation

Then eventually on our way. Keep looking for something to do. Or in the absence of something to do, something to eat. We make surprisingly good progress across to Sunk Head, and down Black Deep, where we use the Cruising Chute. Eventually take it down when we are too far downwind. Through Foulger's Gat and then on towards N Foreland. Eventually have to motor for quite a long time after the wind drops. That is no ssurprise, but what is a surprise is to find that Ramsgate harbout have closed all their visitors moorings to do some dredging. Well, it's badly needed but why do it in June. Hope they finish before Ramsgate week
