DLS the barge Greta leaving Ramsgate. With other barges she was towed over by tug St Fagan which hit a mine, destroying it and 2 other barges, the skipper of Pudge said " we lifted out of the water, landed right side up and carried on" @Dunkirk_Ships, @hnrypg
Great image by @hentastic1 of Thames Sailing Barge Pudge and the Dunkirk Little Ships, including SB Greta, as they prepare to leave Ramsgate last week.

Watched start of 115th annual Medway Barge Sailing Match w. Trev.
We're into birds and barges. And we're into moaning about nos.
T: "Back in the 80s there'd be 18, 20 barges racing. Now? 8."
Moi: "10 yrs ago this reach would be full of gulls. Now? Handfu- ooo, ooo, Med!"
