We Clear the Channel

Having left Ramsgate after the enforced rest we sailed NE in excellent weather, staying close inshore at first to avoid a foul tide and being rewarded with some great views such as this lighthouse nestling in the woods.

A psychological target was soon attained; getting round North Foreland. This meant that we had escaped from the Channel and could point the bows North at last. Next would be crossing the Thames Estuary......

Extra:	Greydove is a mk3/4 Heavenly Twins highly modified with straight stems and a high aspect ratio fully battened modern catamaran rig with an 11 metre mast. She goes! (for an old girl anyway). Sailing around the Forth, West Coast and Western Isles of Scotland with a scuba diving skipper we have [...] visited many remote and beautiful places. After sailing in the Irish Sea for a while, we went south to explore the West coast of France. Grey Dove spent 8 years in Rochefort exploring the bay of Biscay, the Morbihan, the Gironde and Canal de Midi to the Med. before returning to the Firth Of Forth for a well earned refit. Currently exploring the historic ports around the East of Scotland and having a great time doing it. More
