Cruising past English Channel swimmers at sea
Cruising past English Channel swimmers at sea

After a week in Dieppe and another in Boulogne, separated by a single cruising day of fine weather, we found another to carry the tide all the way up the French coast, across the English Channel and up the English coast, past Dover and up to Ramsgate. A highlight was passing some channel swimmers at sea.

I checked out the possibilities of getting more shelter and managed to arrange for us to pass through the bridge and barrier later to moor within the inner harbour for a few days. Later on, we got the clearance to move and made our way into the inner marina and to a quiet and protected mooring and could settle down to a beer and then a meal at the end of a successful day. My detailed study of the meteorology confirmed that we would be in Ramsgate for a few days and it now looks like next Sunday before we move on to Ipswich
