In this captivating episode, Good Deeds Sailing invites you along for a thrilling adventure as they explore the mesmerizing Red Sands Forts. This experienced sailing duo expertly navigates the treacherous waters and shares invaluable insights into their voyage.
Embarking on the Journey to Red Sands Forts
Sailing against a headwind, they strategically set course for the Cardinal buoy and turn to starboard near it. With their expert navigation skills and a keen understanding of the wind patterns, they successfully reach the famed Red Sands Forts. Upon arrival, the duo marvels at how the ancient structures have stood the test of time and have grown in size.
An Overnight Stay and a Life Raft Installation
Returning from their Red Sands Forts expedition, they take advantage of the wind conditions to cross back, but find themselves needing to anchor overnight. With ample provisions on board, they make the best of their time before motoring to a safe haven.
Liferaft Fitting Process
Avoiding the temptation to cut corners, Good Deeds Sailing emphasizes proper installation techniques for their life raft. They opted against drilling into the roof and settled on attaching it securely under the stern rail with Jubilee clips.
Navigational Highlights
Utilizing their navigation software, they showcase the exact routes taken to and from the Red Sands Forts. Notably, they pass Sheerness on the North Kent Coast near the Medway River before reaching Montgomery Rock. This fascinating journey demonstrates the duo’s ability to harness nature’s elements in pursuit of adventure.

Good Deeds Sailing
Welcome/Witamy to Good Deeds Sailing. Sailing around the world doing good deeds! :) We are Lee (🇬🇧), a maintenance engineer, and Karolina (🇵🇱) a dental hygienist, and together with our cat PJ we plan to fulfill our dream of sailing around the world doing charity work as and where we can. First we have to refit our cheap sailboat, a 1976 31ft Westerly Berwick ready to travel across to France, through the French canals and into the Mediterranean sea. Here we plan to gain more sailing experience and source a larger sail boat to carry our tools and equipment. Although novices at boat renovation and refits we are sharing as much of the refit and engine installation and tips as we can, before setting out on our new minimalistic but hopefully fulfilling life. Join us on our crazy adventure as we set off around the world doing good deeds.
