Some queer things in the Thames Estuary

Sorry wrong photo, these,

Second world war watch towers, maybe not as well preserved as the Napoleonic Forts in the solent but there still standing seventy years on which can't be bad. One lot were ominously called Shivering Sands Towers. Not a place I would want to spend too many hours in.

We also Passed the wreck of the Richard Montgomery that went down loaded with enough explosive to take out London. Fortunately it never went off and after all this time it must be a bit of a damp squib.We went past at high tide so there wasn't much to see.

Now tied up to a mooring bouy off Queenborough. I think its a cunning plan of Bob's to avoid a walk this evening. He says we can't even row ashore.
