It’s was really foggy on my pre-dawn drive to Tollesbury but fortunately there was no fog when I arrived.  High tide was 0619 and we left the dock just after 0700 with plenty of water over the marina sill. 

I watched the sun come up from a buoy off West Mersea where I had breakfast. My plan was to take the ebb tide up The Wallet for a close look at The Gunfleet Sands wind farm. There wasn’t much wind to begin with but after some tacking we had a nice close reach parallel to the coast past Jaywick and Clacton. 

As the wind was dropping we motored across to the wind farm then broad reached back towards The Blackwater.

Then the wind disappeared almost completely so we motored sailed the rest of the way. 

Despite there being not much wind it was still a cracking day!

Cracking day afloat!
