After a great trip across the Thames Estuary, we are finally moored up in Shotley Marina, near Harwich. (Arrived 20.30) We had non-stop, heavy rain all day untill around 1hr from Harwhich, with poor visibility, and no wind at all. This meant that we had to motor almost the whole way across (around 50miles), which is incredibly frustating, and slow progress! This morning, before we left Ramsgate, dad discovered his chartplotter doesnt cover the east coast of England. I don't know why he didn't look at it untill half an hour before we left, but I guess that's just David Mccabe for you. We ended up installing Navionics on the tablet, which he can use as a chartplotter- its all up to date, you can plot routes on it, and it even shows your SOG (speed over ground). Dad, however, doesnt trust all this mod...
