This is incredibly geeky, but if you like boats, tech, or data this is a pretty cool analysis of 2024 vessel movements in the North East using AIS data!

Stats and interesting ships I saw come sailing in

Cool drone video of Chatham Maritime on a nice day!

A nice trip moving Moody 333 Trichord from Chatham Marina to Swale Marina on Saturday.

Not much wind for sailing, but nice calm conditions for a route via the Red Sands Towers and through the middle of the Kentish Flats wind farm.

Beautiful day today, so time to grab a few hours last minute sailing I think!

If anyone would like a few hours out on the River Medway today, give me a shout!

Looks like it should be a nice sailing day tomorrow (Wednesday 13th).

If anyone fancies coming out for a day sail on the River Medway, give me a shout.

Probably leave Chatham marina mid-morning, back in the evening.

Harry Ferry (in the Swale) to Ramsgate today. Fairly benign conditions, but a bit more sun would be nice!

Just passed Herne Bay pier (or what’s left of it!)
