I got marooned on Burntwick with my sailing dinghy during a winter storm once. Some commercial boat reported my presence and this thing came to look me over. They didn’t seem to have a loud hailer, if I remember right they had machine guns instead, and I wasn’t inclined to use my radio, so we...

My wife tolerated my risk taking, and we were both quite certain that she’d have to pick up the pieces when I either vegetableised myself, or, more likely in my opinion, met my maker. She laughed when she was diagnosed with advanced inoperable cancer. Life is for living. There’s plenty of time...

Hi folks, I booked this for two with a Captains Class cabin, which means double bed, mini bar, and room to swing a larger than average tom cat. No view because it was going to be a night crossing. I can’t use it as I intended as my wife is no longer able to travel. It can be changed for any date...

A bit of a wasted opportunity. A bit like the pier!

Lives are complicated, but you only get one so make the best of it.

Train, Mistley to Harwich Town + 8 minutes walk to Halfpenny?

Thanks both!

Thanks, but I got wrong number, and notice you have a spare digit.

I have a family of 4 Hindus wanting to scatter ashes on a river estuary in Suffolk. Can anyone recommend anyone who could take them. Thanks, Stephen

P.s. She does specify experience with keel boats which I take to mean fin keel, not boats that can park on the mud. But I suspect we’ll hear no more.

You are right there. Always too late, but after I’d posted I read carefully through this thread and I noticed that Joszcar hasn’t asked for any advice, she is clearly looking for a young competent person to keep an eye on her boat. She has lit the touch paper and stood back, we’ve got excited...

Hello, I’m not a suitable candidate for what you request as although I’m in London, and I sail the Medway, I sail by preference a dinghy. More smile per mile! However I’m always interested to crew on yachts for longer trips, to the continent perhaps. You mention funds not being extravagant, and...

I don’t know if it’s relevant, but I was once bumming around, sailing around Hoo Island on the Medway, and as I emerged at Folly Point, my club were racing round no24, and I hadn’t realised that that effectively shifted the channel northwards. So in my inexperience I didn’t realise I was coming...

Lovely pub though!

Getting there is easy. Getting ashore is a drama.
