CRUISING  

 East Farleigh Cruising Club members regularly cruise both the non-tidal and tidal waters of the River Medway and beyond.  Members are always welcome on both the Tidal and Non-tidal Cruises.  This page has been designed to help our members plan their cruises safely and it contains some useful links to information about the tidal Medway.  No one should venture out of the Medway estuary without checking the latest conditions at Sheerness so take a look at the Sheerness webcams courtesy of the IOS Sailing Club. You can get the latest tidal information and weather information, too so check out the links listed below. 

Some of our cruise reports can be read HERE.  Cruising Guides to the Thames and Medway can be found HERE.
