The journey up the Thames was uneventful - but fun, despite it being a long motor. A yacht club were having an outing to London and staying in the same marina as us. We were pleased to see them leaving at the same time as us. It meant we had got our sums rights with the tides!
Some of the sights going up the Thames.

We stayed at Limehouse Marina for the week. A super friendly Marina which is minutes from the Light Docklands Railway. Our original plan had been to stay at St Kats, but they weren't very accommodating/organised when we tried to book. As it was August we needed to book ahead. However we don't regret not getting in there as we thoroughly enjoyed our week at Limehouse and it was a great base to get around London.

Our original plan was to go down to Ramsgate and nip across to Calais - our first channel crossing. But Huricane Bertha put paid to that. Instead we went down the Medway and stayed at Gillingham Marina. Our first choice was Chatham but it was full however Gillingham was a nice marina and our first introduction to box moorings. From there we got a train to Rochester and also walked to Chatham Historic Dockyard. Well worth a visit
