That all looks fine to me as far as Cliff Foot. It does get a bit low but never enough to make me alter course (1.7m fin keel) - you can always head out a little if it worries you. The first time is always the most exciting/worrying.
I don't have a close up chart of Harwich here but once you are at Cliff Foot the yacht track just takes you alongside the red buoys (to starboard). In the middle of the track there is a small E Cardinal marking the edge of Harwich Shelf and you need to leave that to port. Once you get to Grisle you can then beeline for Shotley. Call them up from the posts.
Let us know how it goes. If I can do it then you should be fine.
