Have a bit of a trip planned but concerned about the strong winds. Was aiming to leave the Crouch tomorrow and sail to the Blackwater where I've never been before and find a nice anchorage for a couple of nights but the f'cast is now for force 7's and I don't want to have a poor night's sleep on anchor watch with the stress that comes with that, particularly.
Behind Osea island looks like it might be sheltered but it's quite low lying isn't it (from what I can see on maps).
Would we be able to find a sheltered spot?
Wondered also about anchor Blackwater Thur PM then go into Brightlingsea on a pontoon for Friday night then back to Crouch on Sat (which would be a bit of a mission into the remaining headwind.
Thoughts?
TY!
