July 1-2 Orwell, Stour

15.5nm, 221.0nm total
Another Friday 'getaway'.  Winds very light and fickle.  Certainly a change from recent weeks but too far the other way.  What would be really good would be some steady F3/4 conditions.  We've been missing this.
White track shows the trip on Friday - motored down the Orwell until just beyond Levington.  Then sailed round to the Stour, and spent the night anchored off Ewarton Ness.
Red track shows return trip on Saturday morning where winds were virtually non existent. Sailed briefly down the Stour from the anchorage, and also, for a few tacks upon entering the Orwell.  However, most of the progress was made with the tide and, in the end, I gave up and used the motor!!
