Arrived and moored off West Mersea after 7 hours of sailing and motor sailing from Titchmarsh Marina in Walton on the Naze.

This despite navigation issues. 'Are we alright on this course John'? 'I don't really know skip cos I'm sitting down and can't see, but as long as you don't hit the bit of beach sticking out we should be OK'. Anyone for Ice Creams?

Later reply to another navigation question was met with 'I've delegated my navigation duties to my deputy' (This because he was preparing luncheon).

Lovely day's sailing though although a bit chilly. Used to chilli after last night's Thai curry.......
