On the trek down the seawall in Ramsgate, on your way to the marina where the sailors  take off for the race of the day, is a sweet little coffee cafe called “Lola’s”.

I stopped for a coffee myself yesterday morning on my way down to watch the send off.  She also has homemade bread pudding, brownies, sausage rolls and egg sandwiches as well as other treats in case you didn’t have enough time to grab breakfast at the club before a hard day on the open water.

And of course, you can always find a bit of conversation…most often related to the days sailing activities.

And they’re off…
