Broom Owners Club

Despite the recent strong southwesterly winds we moved Boisterous Mistress from her winter moorings at Limehouse to Grove Ferry in Kent over last weekend.

In preparation for those club members intending to venture up the river Stour for the event planned for July, I thought some photo's of the route across Pegwell Bay from Ramsgate and up the lower part of the river to the swing bridge at Sandwich might be of interest.

The following sequence of photo's were were taken on our most recent trip, starting with this one which shows us leaving the entrance to Ramsgate harbour.
