1-3 Pier Place, Lower Upnor, Rochester, Kent ME2 4UY Thames Estuary
a truly great sailing area
the largest area of (relatively shallow) sheltered water around the UK
there are shoals and drying banks, deeps and swatchways
oddities like the WWII sea forts (even the 'Principality of Sealand')
Kentish Flats Offshore Windfarm
and - Gunfleet Sands Offshore Windfarm
and several more proposed windfarms
it frightens some (most?) south coast softies from the Solent
a part of the North Sea (which some consider to be the Rhine Estuary)
most interesting navigation
a few harbours directly open to the sea
plenty of clubs and harbours in the many rivers and creeks
the Kent coast and access to mainland Europe from Scandinavia to Gibraltar and beyond...
