Trip out to the Mansell Forts

 The lovely Andy Downes organised a boat trip out to the Mansell Forts, (Red Sands)  we also stayed a while at the Mulberry Harbour and SS Montgomery.   I am really glad I went, it was a 4.30 am start and a long day but we were blessed with good weather and a fairly calm sea.The forts, built in the 1940's to protect the entrance of the Thames and route to London are slowly falling into disrepair so I am really pleased that I was able to go on this trip.   Quite hard to paint in cramped conditions,  bobbing up and down!
