We set sail and made our way down the Orwell, then up the Stour. We picked up a 'hat overboard' under sail (neat figure of eight) and then a mooring under sail for lunch. A run back home in the afternoon. Very good weather - sunny F3 westerley but cool breeze.

A brisk Southerly wind meant tacking or closehauled into Hamford Water. Lunch at Titchmarsh Marina then home under the genoa and with a F6 behind us.

First Kiss up to Manningtree attempting to reach the bridge at the end of Cattawade Creek on HW Springs. Could probably have made it but didn't want to wait two weeks if we got it wrong. Followed by a trip up the Orwell culminating in a downpour and 30 knots.

Lovely weather, see track off Pye End where practised MOBs - very squiggly. 15knots down to Walton then back to investigate the Windmill Planting machine at Harwich. See link
