A glorious morning

...down on the coast but by afternoon the wind had got up making white horses at sea.  Isnt the water such a beautiful colour.  Looking out there does not appear to be much to see but just 6 miles from the land are the infamous Goodwin Sands.   The Goodwin Sands is a 10 mile long sandbank upon which more than 2,000 ships are believed to have been wrecked over the centuries.  In the news over the  last few days has been the ship  Northumberland,  built in the 1679 lost in the 'great storm' on November 1703   but rediscovered a few years ago  buried under feet of sand on the Goodwins.  The wooden vessel  has been preserved very well by the sands but now, as they shift, there is a worry of it breaking up.
I have tried to copy a link but it just doesn't want to work so you will have to check out Goodwin Sands on Wikipedia yourself sorry.
In extra is a more modern craft, one of the cross channel ferries, going into Dover port, it will have radar to help it navigate safely over that infamous sandbank.
Closer to land, jutting out into the Dover Straights, the pier at Deal.

Looking out to sea there is nothing but under the waves...
