On Tuesday we decided to walk the coast path from Broadstairs to Margate. It was a damp start and this was added to by the high tide and excited waves at the seafront in Broadstairs. So we walked on the Viking Coast route that was a little higher up at the top of the cliffs.
The shower clouds blew away and we had a good view of the off shore wind farms. Along the coast, chalk cliffs were pock marked with caves. An arch punctuated one headland and on another a stack had become isolated.
The waves continued to wash over the lower promenade as we walked on from Kingsgate, now more than half way there. Just before the Turner Contemporary Gallery, the RNLI station tells a moving story of service in very challenging conditions along this coast over more than one hundred and fifty years.
Some excellent fish and chips fortified us after our breezy walk.
Those that go to sea in ships, and make their living in the huge waters….
We pray for all at sea.
