King Harold's (aka Storm Dave's) vanguard approaches. A phalanx of lowering grey cloud, firing off volleys of forty knot squalls. Which whistle harmlessly over the heads of Stargazer and her (few) hardy travelling companions. Who shelter behind Dover's high harbour walls and higher white cliffs.
We have chosen to wait for our weather window here, rather than in Ramsgate, both because of better shelter and of superior shoreside facilities (chandlers, supermarkets, choice of cliff walks and fuel forecourt proximity). Rather than in Sovereign Harbour, for financial reasons. On a weekly rate (swiftly secured, upon arrival, before the annual April 1st price rise) Dover is just over half of the cost of Sovereign. Where only a day rate is offered.
