Notes from The Spirit Dancer Canoe Journey May 6, 2008
Very good day force 4 15 to 20 knot winds crew did 4 N Miles in two hours against strong winds and some tide, we are trying to arrive at the top of the flood tides as we want no issues with managing Spirit dancer on the low end of the tide, we are dealing with very shallow water as there is very low angle to the terrain we travel ie Mud and Sand for 100's of meters out to sea.

We have been welcomed by the Herne Bay Sailing Club Mr David Hogben president of the club, we are right on the sea and overlook the North Sea (Google map link), will depart on May 8th for Margate which will provide us with close to 100 N Miles for the first week. We will most likely make Portsmouth by May 14th but we shall see once we have turned the corner.
 
Many very interested folk in regards to the canoe and some very interested a stunned looks like star ship enterprise on another planet.
