Circumnavigating Horsey Island, 28th October 2008
At anchor, Landemere Creek, 27th October 2008
Horsey Island. This shows the landing stage where, earlier in the season, we went ashore on a Drascombe Association rally.

Container ship arriving at Felixstowe Docks. You don't argue with them...!
This trip was an 'end-of-season' opportunity to stop overnight on board. The plan, which pretty much came to fruition, was to sail from Pin Mill to the Walton Backwaters, anchor for the night, sail around the Backwaters, and return for the incoming tide mid-afternoon the next day. The picture above was taken whilst anchored in Landemere Creek, in the Walton Backwaters.
Another snap taken during the trip over to Walton, the Naze tower just visible.
These images show the gps track, downloaded onto Google Earth. Total distance, 28.5 nm.
The tracks above and below show detail of sailing on the second day in the Walton Backwaters, including a circumnavigation of Horsey Island, of Secret Water fame (Arthur Ransome). The track below shows particular detail of tacking up the further reaches of Landemere Creek, including a few careless moments where the boat grounded...
