that's why Guapa keeps reminding you what the Languard buoy looks like

It's not that he doesn't go anywhere - he just doesn't remember it

pah - that was easy

Beaumont key without dropping the mast was more of a challenge - stupid actually

although

I have my eye on a few other challenges

I am currrently on the Alde - and the top of the Butley would seem to be worth a visit

but of course the bargemen were regular visitors to all these places

there are times when I pity the depth challenged sailors who cling to their anchors at the mouths of some wonderful estuaries - too frightened to navigate more than a few hundred yards inland

That's a great video, and I'm hoping to be in a position to have a poke around those waters soon. Luckily I can take the bottom very easily though

I enjoyed the video too.... But what is the difference between Frinton on Sea and a caravan park?

 

[dylanwinter]

more to come

I will explain in the next video

right now I am finishing off yet another farming video

otherwise I won't have enough money to pay for this winter on the Alde

Go past the pontoons in Brightlingsea, take the first channel to starboard and wiggle your way as far as possible. An excellent mudpluggers paradise with lots of real boatyard stuff, a proper launching ramp, piles of timber, barges and projects

Or if you are sensible take the road from St Osyth to Point Clear.

Well bu**er me ! Went there fifteen years ago with a skipper sh*t scared of being neaped so wasn't allowed to stay long enough to find a pub even.

I had some work done on my boat there a few years ago - Twister, drawing 5'3". Local knowledge (not mine!) was essential in getting up the creek. However, the boatyard owner, Andy Harman, had a Watson-designed ketch up there some years ago which drew (IIRC) about 8'. That must have been a challenging bit of pilotage.
