Christmas lights reflected across the harbour

Tradition when sailing ‘Blue water’ one decorates ones vessel up for Christmas, I did so wherever I was during my solo circumnavigation and that did not change upon my return to my home port The Royal Harbour at Ramsgate in 2009. So it was that a few of us would decorate our vessels, I believe there were about five or six of us.

A few years later the Royal Temple Yacht club caught on to this and now it is a major even not only for The Royal Harbour, Ramsgate town but for the whole area as the event attracts thousands of visitors every year from the 1st of December until the 30th Dec. From snowmen to elves and icicle-inspired light displays, the stunning display in support of Ramsgate RNLI, has not disappointed.
