The Cruising Association Kent Section’s brilliant “winter warmer” talks, organised by Clifford Mickleburgh, have not stopped for Covid. All of us, CA member or not, can enjoy them online. This month’s talk is by Adam Taylor who regularly represents Medway Council at MSBA meetings. Clifford had a preview and was amazed at how much there is to learn about the Medway, Adam has put in a lot of energy researching his presentation and you will not be disappointed. Here’s a taste:
* Deadman\u2019s Island: Kent\u2019s terrifying forgotten island littered with human remains.
* Tom Court Island and the German U-Boat.
* William Turner\u2019s painting at Stangate Creek.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Look out, it’s the Excise Men!<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

This is the River Medway that nobody knows and yet we enjoy sailing up and down this fascinating river. And then we have the Reculver smugglers battling with the Excise officers; the once inhabited islands and the fortress islands. But don\u2019t let us spoil it for you, this is a river that nobody knows, a talk not to be missed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adam suggests that you might also like to search  National Library of Scotland – Map Images<\/a>  before his presentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

APOLOGY: We’re sorry that the number of people trying to access Adam’s excellent presentation very quickly exceeded Clifford’s Zoom limit of 100, far more than have previously attended a CA winter warmer meeting. Furthermore the session was not recorded – unless someone knows differently. We’ll try to make sure this doesn’t happen next time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HOWEVER, for those who missed out, Adam repeated the talk on Tuesday 23 Feb at 7pm.
