OK, it wasn't exactly likely to have been a dangerous voyage, but there were nice views over the harbour wall this afternoon, two ferries crossing on their regular passage whilst a sailing ship made its steady and elegant way in to Ramsgate. Well not so steady really, once in the harbour - at the lowest tide I've seen in the year I've been here - it took quite a few attempts to get round the central sandbar to get to the berth on the other side. I'm pretty sure she grounded a couple of times, and the harbour master was even out on his balcony waving his arms and shouting helpful advice... Seagulls standing on dry sand in the middle of the harbour - that just doesn't seem right!
The sailing ship is the 1930 Dutch 'schonerbrigg'
Jantje. And while I was there, it seemed a shame not to grab yet another shot of the Larkspur, as well as the seagulls enjoying the sandbar.
But all good things (well, good intentions anyway) come to an end. There went the funfair, leaving us poised for the next instalment of the Pleasurama saga...
