Saturday 2nd February 2013: Day started with a drive to Faversham. Only a short walk was taken here, on the account of it being so chilly!
Amongst the vessels in the boat yard, the former White Horse Ferries,
Uriah Heep and Philip Pirrip
Fishing boat Klipper
and this ex lifeboat.
Tugs Wm Ryan and Pelikaan now at Faversham
and the fishing boat Claytonia
Then on down to Oare Creek, where a walk was taken down to entrance of the creek.
The tide was low in the creek
But plenty of water in the fields...
...a bit of splashing about?
Field was full of highland cattle
...if only I was a duck(?)
Some barges repairing at the local boatyard (Lady Daphne left, Beric on the right)
....Tip towing in the mud?
The entrance to Faversham Creek
Some wrecks on the river bank.
A former barge, now in the back of the boatyard at Oare.
The sun couldn't decide if it was staying out or hiding behind the clouds as I left.
Then arrived at Queenborough, very overcast with the former Fowey tug Pendinnick and salvage ship Redeemer on the moorings.
The seafront at Sheerness was very breezy...
the sun seemed to be on Southend, across the water! (Chiquita Scandinavia seen arriving at Sheerness - rumoured to be the last reefer to visit the port)
a few small fishing boats on the quay at Queenborough as the sun disappeared and I remembered the housework I still had to do!
