DLS the barge Greta leaving Ramsgate. With other barges she was towed over by tug St Fagan which hit a mine, destroying it and 2 other barges, the skipper of Pudge said " we lifted out of the water, landed right side up and carried on" @Dunkirk_Ships, @hnrypg

Watched start of 115th annual Medway Barge Sailing Match w. Trev.
We're into birds and barges. And we're into moaning about nos.
T: "Back in the 80s there'd be 18, 20 barges racing. Now? 8."
Moi: "10 yrs ago this reach would be full of gulls. Now? Handfu- ooo, ooo, Med!"
