The view of Dover harbor, the white chalk cliffs and the breakwater was fantastic. There is a marina there that seemed to have a lot of cruising boats. I'd like to see the castle from the sea someday. Don W. There ya go! Sea and boats. I would like to do one of those canal boat cruises one day, the narrow boats. I well recall a winter's day when I was travelling across England through the Midlands and off in the distance was a canal; with dozens of narrow boats, most of them wisping smoke from their chimneys. So very homey and one reason we have a solid-fuel heater on our boat. My daughter and her family lived many years on a canal barge in Holland but now they just live in a house in Ipswich. Not nearly as much fun, nor as roomy. Granddad and grandmother have to stay in a B&B or hotel. We were in Ipswich on Monday to take pictures of the duplex my wife's family lived in when she was little. She was born in the hospital at what was then the 75th Tactical at RAF Ben****ers just down the road. We had a nice visit in Ipswich also. There is a wide river which cuts from the English channel all the way into town, with many marinas and sailboats along it. The tide along the English channel must be dramatic, as at low tide there are many boats at their moorings sitting in the mud. The river Thames is actually a tidal flow which reverses course depending on whether the tide is coming in or going out. Don W. |
