Nice weather and a favorable current, which eventually came to 3 knots made it a pleasant and "effective" trip. Especially the trip down to Canary Wharf and Greenwich is interesting and it's great to see the Millennium Dome and the Thames Barrier (to prevent a great flood coming up the Thames and create problems for London City). From there down the Thames is surprisingly rural with small cozy villages and green, flat meadows. Small boat traffic this time and navigation was then also the corresponding simple.
The Thames Estuary - the end of the Thames - however, is something else entirely. Here it is full of sandbanks and it comes first to add a sailing route between all banks and then to have an iron grip on the navigating. It does, however, well all buoys in the area have names that are painted buoys so that we can constantly check (in addition to the chartplotter) that we are where we should be. We were surprised at how many small gjennomrustne defense "platformer" that stood in re wartime and marred area. They were all from 5 to 12 meters and should be easy to remove, but it is thus not been done - supposedly of "economic reasons".

Ramsgate was a nice, small fishing village that could offer their Yact Club (which of course we visited), several smaller workshops that could fix most as well as a small selection of restaurants.

Eastbourne next day was the antithesis of Dover. A city where the northern part where we found the harbor was completely "newly developed" over the last 15 years with a wonderful marina, 24 hour shops and good service offerings.
