Family cruise day 6. A relaxing sail to Fambridge plus other stuff
So after pulling Ian up the mast to check on the jib halyard we set off for a pleasant sail further up the Crouch to Fambridge.

Today, the friends that we had made in Tollesbury were planning a short hop along the coast to Brightlingsea.... and as we had never been before there before and as they didn't seem to object to us tagging along, we decided to follow them. Turned out to be a great sail into what is, another re...

When we arrived there wasn't any wind, like zero! But it filled in just enough for us all to get to the furthermost mark downwind and then half way back before the organisers sensibly decided to shorten. Music from For a race that never saw much more than 5 knots of wind it was amazingly pl...

S2E11 Newhaven to Dover, the third part of our journey back to the Medway
The wind was still stubbornly in the north east but it had at least reduced in strength so we headed off on the next part of the journey home.
