Pleasure to have Bloomers onboard again. He did all the steering and I handled to sheets. There was a bit of south in the wind which was sufficiently strong to give us some decent tide assisted speed under full sail. We had a beat up towards Osea but no tacking. 

Once the tide turned we needed a couple of tacks to clear Osea jetty then a beam reach back down the estuary. 

Dover Coastguard was busy with a dismasted yacht and injured singlehanded skipper. CG shore team, lifeboat and helicopter. Then there was a broken down fishing boat of Point Clear needing a tow into Brightlingsea. 

Got back before a gale from the east blew in. 

Another sail with Bloomers onboard!
