My plan to move on to the River Deben, with walk ashore possibilities was changed when I realised the huge tidal constraints, distance up river to find a drying out marina etc. So I sailed and motor sailed to Shotley Marina near Felixstowe and Harwich, leaving my mooring last night very early this morning to get over the sand at at the mouth of the River Ore. I made it with 0.2 metres under the keels!

I will be here for 6 days to welcome visitors and generally chill out.
