After another day and night sail from Cowes (22 hours,141 NM) we are now safely anchored In the Granville Dock of the Dover Marina. In order to enter the dock you have to pass thru a lock since the difference between high water and low water is 6.19 meters. In order to enter or exit the marina you have to contact the marina office from which the lock is controlled. He knows his tide tables.
Dover Marina is located close to down town Dover (pop. 42.000). The Market Square in the town centre is only a 10 minute walk from the Marina. The main attraction here is Dover Castle, visible from almost any point in the city.
After having a long leisurely breakfast onboard Jennifer I headed into town. By chance I found a nice little trail to follow, "the Dour Greenway", which passes thru the central part of this little town. And then, by chance on my way back to Jennifer, I met a very airy Queen standing on the boardwalk.
