Max Taylor, our Deputy Harbour Master, reports that we were visited on Sunday by a pod of what appears to be Pilot Whales. Initially spotted in Kethole Reach by the Fishing Vessel “Julie Sue” early Sunday morning, the pod of approximately 28 Whales were in the vicinity of the Bulwark wreck. As the tide turned the “Julie Sue” assisted by Peel Ports Medway craft “Westbourne” and “Maurice Gill” carefully escorted the whales into deeper water within the Estuary. Medway Navigation Service (VHF channel 74) welcome any reports of large numbers of cetaceans in the Medway area from recreational river users.
