After leaving our berth at 09-30 we exited the Bradwell Marina, and saw a minimum depth of 2.7m in the approach channel. By 09-55 the engine had been turned off, and we were beating up the Blackwater towards Maldon.
A gentle beat up the Blackwater.
A little while later the 'Ross Revenge' was spotted moored in the river, this was the ship from which the pirate station Radio Caroline was broadcast.

By 11-10 Osea island was looming on the bow and we decided to anchor for lunch, putting the hook down at 11-50.
Osea Island lunch stop.
After lunch we sailed back down the river to West Mersea where we picked up a mooring for the night. Shortly after mooring we were subjected to a torrential downpour and felt very lucky that we were not caught out in it!
Just picked up a mooring at West Mersea.

Storm Approaching!
Glad to be inside!
