Cruise Notes: Survey cruise of the lower tidal Medway with the author Simon Elliott on-board. Fantastic & informative cruise with Simon as he researched and photographed sites of historical interest along the way. Moored up on the river bank at Aylesford for a bite of lunch before heading back down river to Chatham.

Footnote: Simon's book recently published is 'Sea Eagles of the Empire'. A study of the Roman navy around the seas of Britain.
