This Thames Barge is at Whitstable which we visited today because it the Regatta weekend..
It is still a working port with fishing boats tied up at the quay.
As part of the Regatta original art work was printed on sails to produce a floating exhibition called Art at Sea. We arrived just as the sails were being raised for the first time.
We sat and enjoyed watching the different types of boat being launched off the beach.
A short time later the Art at Sea yachts had a race just off-shore so that the sails could be clearly seen in use and everyone was invited to vote for their favourite.
As we walked along the seafront two of the Thames barges headed out to sea.
We travelled down the coast to Herne Bay and came across these dramatic towers at Reculver. They were built as the local church on the site of a Roman fort.
