Lost inflatable tender off bradwell

[millbeach]

Gang.
Having sailing around Bradwell on Saturday my inflatable tender was tied up on my back.
When got round to Millbeach, i noticed all i had on my back was 2ft of rope,
My tender was lost some where off Stone or Marconi in the Blackwater.
It probably ended up around Mersea area.Or Tollsbury
If any one finds my inflatable ( marked- MMC, 0119 ) give us a pm,A REWARD WILL BE GIVEN. (PS it is aprox 5ft long).
Realy upset, its part of the family, feel like i have lost a friend
I know, i know, should have put 2 strops on or checked more often, but it was blowing like mad, and was fighting all the way back.
Cheers gang,

I'll be on the Club launch tomorrow morning so I'll ask. Doug usually knows what's going on.

Thanks Tiller Girl..

Thanks Tiller Girl.
Guess it blew over your way (mersea).
By the way, saw you heading back home Friday afternoon, couple of mile off Mersea..
I know it seems daft, but it was a "cracker" of a tender for me.
Many thanks... for your help..

Yes, just done a 'photoshoot' with Trinity House and added some more Ray Sand data. Then I just had to shoot these: Long digital zoom for the second. She was going too fast for me to get over the other side of the Blackwater.

have you notified the GC

 

[nigelm]

he's probably more upset at the thought of putting his hand in pocket for a replacement .

A laugh, as always..

I too lost my tender June last year, just turning into the Colne from the Blackwater. I informed police, CG, harbourmasters all club secretaries I could think of. Worth doing, but I didn't get it back, and still sad at the loss - if you see me peering at your Avon Redstart for the name & sign on the back for "Ducky" accept my excuses.

Yes, have informed C/G, and all clubs on Blackwater.
Maybe something will come up, you never know.

Think it blew over Mersea/Tollsbury way..

Top draw tender.
Well gutted...
Hope kids find it, and enjoy playing with it

Will be searching the Blackwater this weekend,
In the hope of finding my lost member of the FANTASY family..

Got 3 weeks off work, so hope for some nice sailing..
