Doo

Touched the mud three times. One time, even stuck, but just pushed it through.

Motored

Motored with the ebb tide.

Motoring as the wind was from the west. Docked in South Dock Marina, costed about £160. Must report to the London VTS through VHF for permission to transit.

Anchored in Stangate Creek. First time experiencing 7 boats rafting to each other. Wonderful time with Medway Yacht Club. After about 2 hours of anchorage, we left off. Sailed wing-on-wing outbound. Motored for return to charge up the battery.

Out from the Queenborough, motored through the Medway river. Very fast with the current. Gathering information about sailing on Thames towards the city of London.

Could have a glimpse of the strong tide of Thames river. Stopped at the mooring Q. Very nice place. Will take a week break here.

Sailing never gets easier. We always struggle with this being the right way to pursue our lives. Coming to the UK is definitely our great milestone, but I feel more burdened than mere joy. Our speedometer got fixed on the way. Also, the NMEA2000 connection is fully on all of a sudden. Depth, true wind, and everything, we can check. Starlink global roaming is only available from 12 miles from land.
