Medway Queen looks magnificent on the Ramsgate slipway (photo: David Stearne).
News from MQPS: Unfortunately she is set to continue to look magnificent there for a little while yet. The plan was for her to come off the slip yesterday afternoon and for the tugs to bring her back to Gillingham at the earliest opportunity. The operation had hardly started and MQ was about a quarter of the way down when the winch jammed. Now we have to wait for that to be fixed. We have been assured that she is high enough to be in no danger, but it is still a cause of considerable frustration! It is just “one of those things” and we have to make the best of it.
We absolutely agree that The Medway Queen looks magnificent and we saw we yesterday.
Fantastic job done by everyone involved and especially the volunteers.
Thank you.
Well at least she did get caught in any storms, safe transiting when you do move, regards Toni hodgkins
