Once I was comfortable there was nothing lurking in the water I started throwing some small chop-hops and sailing really close to the pillars. I was really hoping to see someone living up in one, maybe a castaway or something! I looked hard but could see nothing. When the clouds came out I laid my rig in the water on the offshore side but then after a few minutes remembered the story our boat captain told us about the burial site from the black plague. I had visions of some rotting corpse launching itself up towards me from the depths of the sea! Luckily this didn’t happen and we carried on our adventures around this seemingly forbidden place.
After my sailing session came to an end we had a pretty bumpy trip back head into the wind and chop for an hour back to the beach with some more Captain’s stories of the underwater world off this amazing coastal location. When we made it back to dry land we headed off for pot of tea at one of JSUP’s local lakes on the Isle of Sheppey and were greeted with friendly faces and some warm food before the drive home”
