River Thames: trawlers
Two trawlers sailing down the River Thames, following the pro-brexit 'flotilla' sailing up river to Parliament; they took a couple of days to sail back down and of course passed Gravesend doing so.
Christina S is a 'pelagic' (open sea) trawler, Atlantic Challenge is behind.
It's illegal to trawl the Thames up-river of the two forts at Coalhouse Fort and Cliffe Fort (5-6 miles east of Gravesend). At Gravesend, the water is still pretty much 100% sea water.
There are fish in the river ! Seals and the occasional porpoise...
