Pointing

As the tide rushes in a variety of people head down the jetty - a couple get their small boat ready for a sail, while something interesting on the horizon attracts the two ladies on the right.

Sunken

A small boat that has sunk on the shoreline of Two Tree Island, the chimney stack at Sheerness visible on the south bank of the Thames.

Moored High

A rowing boat sat high on the mudflats as I arrived but the tide moves in quickly on the Thames Estuary and soon this would be afloat once more.

Recent Wreck

The tide is rising in the Thames Estuary and the wreck of this sailboat is sinking under the rising water. Locals I spoke to think it's hit the bottom in recent weeks, but I couldn't find a name for the boat. The oil refinery near Sheerness is on the distant horizon on the south bank of the Thames.
