The weather started to brighten up so we left Fambridge and headed back down river to Burnham Marina, via Brandy hole (just to take a look at whats there). We ...

No sailing today but some family time.

We leave Burnham Marina and motor up the Crouch with the last of the incoming tide to Fambridge Marina.

So the plan was to head off to Fambridge today, just a bit further up the Crouch, before the weather turned but it didn't happen. In brief the outboard kept ...
