Getting fired up for departure; after all the dashing about of Hyde Park this was the first time most of us got to meet. Not exactly to relax and chat though, as Kim and I had to get 96 sets of customs documents processed in two hours...
Many, many thanks to the customs team, to Orbit Shipping, and to TransEuropa Ferries.
If the weather is this good in July, this is where we'll spend our hols; easy to get to from Dover too.

I think this is on the site of the old Ramsgate Beach Railway Station; just got a book about it, crazy place for a station. But right on the edge of the sea.
Taken laying down on the pier, another one of those shots where i keep getting funny looks from people just admiring the view.

The smack boys were apprenticed to the fishing smack skippers of Ramsgate (often the other 4 members of the crew besides the skipper himself were all smack boys), there were 50 registered smacks here in 1863, 168 in 1906. The home was the result of pressure put on the Board of Trade by Canon Brenan, Vicar of Christ Church, Ramsgate. No other British fishing port appears to have copied this unique facility.
