We got to Ramsgate in the Southeast of England late Sunday, with time to prep for Race Week.

Ramsgate Week is the Royal Temple Yacht Club’s annual regatta and bills itself as “the friendly regatta”.

It is a full week of sailing, competition and partying, and this year proves to be no exception.

I spent my first evening walking around the port on the English Channel, taking in the gorgeous skies and mellow seas.

It promises to be a beautiful week with temps in the high 60s to low 70s, cool on the water but perfect for touring.

I am heading down to the marina now to see the boats take off for their races. Wish him luck!
