Lowestoft to Thames trip - advice welcome

[Rafflesover]

Hi,
We are planning to sail from Lowestoft to the Thames starting mid-May. Considering stopping off at Southwold, River Ore/Alde and then river Deben. The pilot book suggests that entry to all 3 can be tricky but I should be grateful for any additional info anyone could share? Boat is a 23ft long lifting keel.
Thanks

I think that you may find some of the answer to your question on the East Coast Forum from a post about 24hrs ago by someone or other. You might even know him.
